Little drops of water.



Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Makes the mighty ocean
and the beauteous land

And the little moments
humble though they may be
make the mighty ages
of eternity

Little deeds of kindness
little words of love
make our earth an Eden
like the heaven above

So our little errors
lead the soul away
from the paths of virtue
into sin to stray

Little seeds of mercy
sown by youthful hands
grow to bless the nations
far in heathen lands

Glory then forever
be to God on high
beautiful and loving
to eternity.

-Julia Carney 1845

I first heard this meaningful phrase " little drops of water, makes the mighty ocean " from my add maths teacher Mr.Lee, back in high school. The funny thing is, i don't remember anything about add maths but i did remember and ponder upon this phrase. Which in return, has really taught me about not neglecting the little things because, they do add up to much larger things whether you like it or not.

I think this is such a beautiful poem. don't you? :)
