"Brighten" The Corner Where You Are

"Brighten" The
Corner Where You Are

We cannot all be
famous, or be listed in "Who's Who",
But every person, great or small, has
important work to do,
For seldom do we realize the importance of small
deeds
Or to what degree of greatness unnoticed kindness leads.

For it's not the big
celebrity in a world of fame and praise,
But it's doing unpretentiously in an
undistinguished way,
The work that God assigned to us, unimportant as it
seems,
That makes our task outstanding and brings reality to
dreams.

So do not sit and
idly wish for wider, new dimensions
where you can put in practice your many
good intentions.
But at the spot God placed you begin at once to do
Little
things to brighten up the lives surrounding you.

If everybody
brightened up the spot where they're standing
By being more considerate and a
little less demanding,
This dark old world would very soon eclipse the
evening star
If everybody brightened up the corner where they
are!
