Little Things Matter

 It’s the little things that matter 
As you travel down the road,  

And there’s joy and great contentment 
In sharing someone’s load.   

To you it’s such a little thing 
And hardly worth the time,   

But brother it can mean a lot 
With a long hard hill to climb.

Our lives are filled with ups and down 
More downs than ups, it seems,   

And often times a helping hand 
Brings closer still our dreams,   

If there be that which we may do 
To lighten someone’s way,   

Let’s do it, then, and thank the Lord 
This was our lucky day,
