A Quest Guest t TIlE THE LITTLE TASKS The little task asks nothing more Than tapping at a neighbors neighbor's door And passing in a small bouquet Of summer blossoms fresh and gay For one upon a bed of ot pain Yet long Its memory will remain Thought whispered Just a mile from here Lives one who needs a word woid of ch cheer r. r Five minutes of ot your time is all Twill tal take e to make that promised call Turn now and go your our friend to see And long remembered you ou will be The simple tasks so quickly wrought Ask Just a little time and thought A moment here a moment there Which every mortal has to spare But they are arc cherished when are lost The glories gained at nt greater cost Occasionally life has need Of Or one to do cio some daring deed But every hour of ot every day Best lov loved d and honored most are they Who think to stop where troubles dwell And do the little tasks so o well |
