Great Small
‘We can do no great things, only small things with great love.’ Mother Teresa
That quote prods me to share the lyrics from one of the songs I have written for my stage musical ‘The Cross & The Switchblade.’ So here ’tis…
A word that’s stood the test of time
Makes the darkness to shine
A hand that reaches out to mine
A smile that says that you’re just fine.
A child cuddled in your arms
Can teach a frown to make a smile
A solid rock through stormy trials
A drop of sweetness where there’s guile
Where you’re accepted as you are
Whether you are near or far.
Loved
Even ‘midst the vodka and drugs
Even when you’re playing with love
Even as you try to find
Satisfaction peace of mind
God accepts you as you are
Whether you are near or far.
