 It's just a little thing Missing the Assembly yesterday What harm could it possibly bring? I believed they had a quorum anyway I didn't know till today Someone else stayed away It was just a little thing you see They thought there was a quorum too. It's just a little thing The cheques were ready to be signed I needed to find the time To get a second signature Not that hard of a thing to do But now it's been a week or two It's just a little thing to do I even have it on my list too. It was just a little thing Lunch was hectic the day flew by The phone never stopped From crisis to crisis I hopped Somewhere along the way I missed my prayers today It was just a little thing What harm can it bring? It was just a little thing Not enough to make a scene Nothing really much at all But when the committee called I just couldn't find the time I'm sorry but would you mind? Maybe another time It was just a little thing Nothing really much at all It was not just a little thing It was a huge event Time to roll up the sleeves and get to work The community really showed its worth Commitments made and goals were set We really were put to the test Our expectations were surpassed It was not just a little thing It was big and then it passed It was just a little thing Thinking of the four year plan Asking myself how I fared? Would anyone even care? Reflecting on its major goal Entry By Troops so we're told Looking at the three years past It's just the little things That haunts my soul on reflecting It's just the little things That can keep the plan unfulfilled The big events these are fine Even necessary at times But it is the living between events That really defines our existence It is what will attract the hearts It's just the little things That will define my part It's just the little things That brings me guilt That plays at the edges of my mind That keeps the plan out of my grasp That I can lay before Baha'u'llah And pray with all my soul He has not put me on His "to do" list It's just little things What harm can they bring?
