The Little Things

By Jessie M. Moon

MRS. JESSIE M. MOON
'Twas little to say Good morning To a man upon the road, But by it the man was strengthened To bear his heavy load.
'Twas little to give a flower To a woman, sick and old, But it gave her sweetest comfort; Its worth can ne'er be told.
'Twas little to smile upon The tired and lonely lad, But it turned his work to pleasure, And made his sad heart glad.
These little things seem trifles As we pass along life's way, But they are of more importance Than the minutes of the day.
As we deal with fellow mortals Whom we meet each passing year, Just so would we deal with our Saviour, If he were really here.
So our kind words, smiles, and flowers. As we give them out to men, Are looked upon by Jesus As though given all to him.
