It’s the tiny pebbles on the riverbed <br />That filter the water that flows. <br />It’s the little gentle breeze, <br />Which refreshes as it blows. <br /> <br />It’s seconds, which combine, <br />To form hours, days and years. <br />It’s one man’s acts of courage, <br />That can drive away all fear. <br /> <br />It’s little words of love, <br />That can move a stony heart. <br />And with simple soft whisperings, <br />A new relationship can start. <br /> <br />It’s the tiny things you do for others, <br />Without expecting anything in return. <br />That makes a whole lot of difference, <br />And makes you many of life’s lesson learn. <br /> <br />It’s the little deeds of kindness, <br />That makes this world a haven, <br />So don’t look for what the world can give you, <br />Rather work to make it an earthly heaven. <br /> <br /> <br />October 1999<br /><br />Runita R Menezes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-things-matter-much/
