It's just the little
homely things,
The unobtrusive, friendly
thing,
The
"won't-you-let-me-help-you" things
That make our pathway
light -
And it's just the jolly,
joking things,
The
"never-mind-the-trouble" things,
That makes the world seem
bright.
For all the countless
famous things,
The wondrous,
record-breaking things,
Those
"never-can-be-equalled" things
That all the papers cite,
Aren't all the little
human things,
The everyday-encountered
things
The
"just-because-I-like-you" things
That make us happy quite.
So here's to all the simple
things,
The dear
"all-in-a-day's-work" things,
The
"smile-in-the-face-your-troubles" things,
Trust God to put them
right!
The
"done-and-then-forgotten" things,
The
"can't-you-see-I-love-you" things,
The hearty
"I-am-with-you" things
That make the life worth the fight.
