LITTLE THINGS (POEM)

[This poem is written by Julia Carney (1823-1908). She was an American verse writer. She was born in Boston, and died in 1908. Not much is known about her. This poem was first published in 1845. It is a simple children's song to explain that even little things are important.]

                 Little drops of water,

               Little grains of sand,

               Make the mighty ocean

               And the pleasant land.

               Little deeds of kindness,

               Little words of love,

               Make our world an Eden 

               Like the heav'n above.

Julia Carney
