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
It's the work that God assigns to us
unimportant as it seems
That makes our task outstanding
and brings reality to our 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 place God put you
begin at once to do
The little things to brighten up
the lives surrounding you.
If everybody brightened up
the place where they are 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
