They Might Hold Hands.
Maybe if I brought the moon a little closer,
lovers would argue less,
they might hold hands,
and say,
"I think God is up to something wonderful!"

A spider is a little thing,
But once a spider saved a king,
The little bees are wiser far
Then buffaloes or lions are . . .
A little pen may write a word
By which a nation shall be stirred.
A little money, wisely spent,
A world of sorrow may prevent,
A little counsel, rightly given,
May lift a sinful soul to Heaven . . .
A little fault, if left to grow,
An emperor may overthrow,
A little word but spoke in jest,
May rob your neighbor of his rest,
A little selfishness and pride
The kindest household may divide.
Little vices many times
Out-Herod felonies and crimes,
And little virtues in the sum
Great excellencies do become.
One of my favorite poems from Luken sisters that published this in the 1800's.

A Man of Words and Not of Deeds
A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds;And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of snow;
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall;
And when the bird away does fly,
It's like an eagle in the sky;
And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door;
And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back;
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart;
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, and dead, and dead, indeed.
