It's just the little homely things,
The unobtrusive, friendly things,
The "won't you let me help you" things,
That make our pathway light.
It's just the jolly, joking things,
The "never mind the trouble" things,
The "laugh with me, it's funny" things,
That make the world seem bright.

For all the countless famous things,
The wondrous, record breaking things,
Those "never can be equaled" things,
That all the papers cite,
Aren't like the little human things,
The everyday encountered things,
Those "just because I like you" things,
That make us happy quite.

So here's to all the simple things,
The dear "all in a day's work" things,
The "smile and face your troubles" things,
Trust God to put them right!
The "done and then forgotten" things,
The "can't you see I love you" things,
The hearty "I am with you" things,
That make life worth the fight.
