Mountains are Built One Little Stone at a Time

Little stones make big mountains
Little steps can cover miles
Little acts of loving-kindness
Bring the world its biggest smiles

Little words can soothe big troubles
Little hugs can dry big tears
Little candles light the darkness
Little memories last for years

Little dreams can lead to greatness
Little victories to success
It's the little things in life
That brings the greatest happiness 

Go forth, my friend, and pursue big dreams 
Big titles, big houses, and all the finer things
Every now and then, though, be still and look around
Not way into the distance, but right here, right next to you, right now

  1. Awww Leslie - that's great! Sometimes we get so wrapped up in looking at the "big picture" that we forget what's really important. My kids will remind me of a seemingly insignificant event that probably didn't cost a lot of money, but did involve spending time together...like the 4th of July parades in Piney Point with Eric playing the drum and Jennifer on the flute? That's what matters. Little things.
