A Little Here A Little There

I've never been the richest man
Not like some could say-
That they are and have been
Along life's longest way-
But my father taught me lots
In the way he was within his soul-
He helped so many people along the way
That were caught out in the cold-
Never asking for credit for same
At times they never even knew-
Where that hamper came from
That was left on a back step true-
I have often done as he would
Have Me do if he was still around-
A little here a little there
To help a few over time cover ground-
Christmas it is coming soon
Better for some then others true-
Time to sincerely help someone
Along the way to make it through-
Might be an older bloke upon a bench
An elderly lady with a bag of old-
Some soul you just might come across
That could use a blanket in the cold-
It could be only a smallest ever deed
But to them more than we could know-
A little here a little there
It well could help them ever so-
Christmas time is right around the corner
And for some the saddest time of year-
A little here a little there
Well could just bring a little cheer-
