Each delicate falling snowflake
decends in grace
takes its place
to change an entire landscape.

Each little sin confessed
is erased
never traced.
Forgiven, we're richly blessed.

Each little note,  timed precisely,
each rest content
each instrument
makes a beautiful symphony.

Each little thought entertained
of hatred
or sacred
affects our action train.

Each thought forms our personality
like, Jesus paid
or I'm afraid.
As one thinketh, so is he.

Each thing done in Christ's name
melts hearts
gives starts
helping us and others to change.

I liked this.. it's true that the little things count for much in the individual. When I hear about good things done in Christ's name, that's all it takes to melt my heart. Way 2 go.

Amen!  Too true!  Great poem!

You're all so kind.  Thank you for your replies and reading my lines.  I'm always so encouraged by these.  As I read others breathtaking works, I always wonder if my plain jane lines are worth posting.

Your lines are in no way plain jane!  I loved this poem, you definately have rhyming skills i'd kill for (not literally of course) and the message was great.  Good stuff sandgrain!!!

Beautiful, so many little things in life are taken for granted in the rush rush world we live in today but none more than the one BIG thing, Christ's gift to us.  This was a great reminder to slow down and take time to appreciate both.  TY.

Well, it's snowing big flakes today and wanted to bring this back up front, so maybe some more could read it!

I lvoe the formation of this poem....especially centered!! It's got great words too and especially a great meaning.

 Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king, and then became one?

Little things mean a lot.  I especially love the line about sins forgiven.. I have a lot of those..sins that need forgiving.  Thanks for sharing.
