JUST A LITTLE THING
Give u little, live a little,
Try a little mirth;
Sing a little, bring a little
Happiness to earth;
Pray a little, play a little,
Bea little glad;
Rest a little, just a little,
If the heart is sad;
Spend a little, send a little
To another’s door;
Give a little, live a little,
Love a little more.

with a slack hand, but the hand of
the diligent maketh rich.—Proverbs.
Never despair; but if you do,
work on in despair.—Burke.
Every noble work is at first im
possible.—Carlyle.
The higher we are placed, the
more humbly should be walk.—Cice
