Importance Of Little Things Poem by Martin Greyford

Life is chiefly made up,
Not of great sacrifices and wonderful achievements,
But of little things.
It is oftenest through the little things which
Seem so unworthy of notice that
Great good or evil is brought into our lives.
It is through our failure to endure the
Tests that come to us in little things,
That the habits are molded,
The character mishaped,
And when the greater tests come,
They find us unready.
Only by acting upon principle in the
Tests of daily life can we acquire
Power to stand firm and faithful in
The most dangerous and most difficult positions.
