The Little Friendly Things

<bgsound src="filmycup.mid" loop=1> The Little Friendly Things

It's not the fancy costly things
That make the day worthwhile;
It's just the little friendly things
That have the warmest style.

The friendly "hi" of neighbors
Living on your street;
The smile that says "I like you"
On faces that we meet;

A greeting card or letter
From a loved one far or near;
The cup of tea shared with a friend
Brings a time of cheer.

And to a mother's heart
Could there be a gift so grand
As a tiny bunch of dandelions
Clutched in a little hand?

It's not the lavish things of life
That cause the heart to smile;
It's just the little friendly things
That make this life worthwhile!
