It is said that mighty oaks from little acorns grow
And this is a truism which we should not forget
For it is the little things in life which are important
Failure to do these things will fill us with regret
Our life can be enhanced by little things we do
For little things in our life can exert influence
Our life’s edifice is being built brick by brick
Small streams swell mighty rivers at their confluence
A small kindness can bring happiness to others
Many small kindnesses will establish our reputation
Attention to detail in every action of our lives
Will ensure we earn other peoples acclamation
We should remember that regardless of the task we undertake
To ensure that our actions accord with the grand design
That every brick in our life’s edifice is laid according to the plan
This will ensure that everything turns out fine
Some folk believe that the little things can be ignored
But careful thought shows that this is not so
Remember it is the little things in life which are important
And that mighty oaks from acorns will always grow
