Little Man

Weaving threads of anxious thought

The endless traps our problems wrought

With crowded halls of people standing

In every place and time

Pages filled with endless rules

To make inhuman every move

That dares to heal a broken soul

And cure the heart that’s blind

But a whisper calmed the sea

And told of things to comfort me

And changed the minds of idle thought

And spoke of brighter days

Strangers to this cluttered mind --

His laugh, his smile, sweet things divine

Have left me but one thing to claim:

“One little man goes a long, long way.”

Day 17 Guide

One small thought, one idea, one "little man" -- but for these things the world would be a hard place. Think of how you might be an influence, no matter how small. Those around you need your smile and your humor. They need your song.
