Every Little Thing
Every victory leaves a taste of success
Every journey has a path to pursue
Each delight has a smile to be shared
Each worry, some hope to renew.
Each new pain has a reason to exist
To concentrate our thinking on the goal
Every response has a modicum of hope…
Of salvation, and development of soul.
Every new friend has a meaning to the bond
Join hands, to eliminate the strife
Each new encounter, a purpose if we seek…
For progress – and a reason for our life.
Every sound has vibrations there to hear
In the mind of your heart, as it beats
Each new thought, as it penetrates the mass,
Inspires us, our mission to complete.
Every thought has an element of truth
If you contemplate the meaning and the sense
Each new song sends a rhythm to the soul
Bringing influence and changes so immense.
Every instrument sends vibrations to the heart
Every harmony brings senses to the ear
Each combination gives a happiness inside…
The listener, with stillness as they hear.
Every moment brings occasion for content
Each experience, a chance for us to care
Every thought has the purpose to succeed
Each delight gives a smile - that we can share.
