Brighten Your Corner
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


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 into 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 their 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!
