Within the pathway leading farther on,
There is a guiding light sending rays along.
We may only view one step at a time.
Hold tight to instructions to be read.
A first poem written in youth many years ago
Lives on, filled with truths to be known.
Many lines have have since been filled.
Lots of thought seeds have been plaanted and tilled.
The reader can harvest them at will
.Their message remains waiting still.
The first poem reads the same today.
It had its say and reads this way.
":Little duties doe today,
Another step along life's way;
A word to help a troubled soul
Walk on toward the one great goal.
A smile to brighten a bloomy morn,
The joy to do that others may learn.
His love, His joy, His friendship is true.
Mid every storm will guide us through.
Oh! To learn more of His will today.
To have a heart to follow His way,
To do the duty, for us He had planned.
Know the works of His mighty hand"
."Little Things Can Be Great Things"
Beneath that title its words remain.
Simple thughts of daily life,
Find joy in things we like.
