"Thank you, God, for little things that often come our way,
The things we take for granted but don't mention when we pray.
The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful, kindly deed,
A hand reached out to help us in the time of sudden need--
Oh, makes us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces
That come to us with 'sweet surprise' from never-dreamed-of places."
