LITTLE THINGS
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
Julia A. Fletcher
This is the first poem that I memorized. I knew nursery rhymes and a few Bible verses, but this was my first poem from mother's book 'THE BEST LOVED POEMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 1936. I have since learned a few more that I will probably share here from time to time.
