For Little Things

I just wrote this.


For Little Things

For great things was I made
not of myself,
that I would be proud

For great things was I made
not in this world
that I upheld could be


For pride, it would tear me down
for power, it would strip me bare
in small, great victories
do I find joy


For great things was I made
by men seldom praised
for only might makes right
to them

For great things was I made
by princes never upheld
for only might makes right
to them


For pride, I have enough now
for power, I need none
in small, great victories
I now am loved


For little things was I made
on this earth
pride to abandon me

For little things was I made
in this world
servant to others


Good men money never made;
Good men pride never made;
Good men power never made;
Good men for little things were made.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I'd like to write music for it and sing it myself, but I'm not sure I'm a singer worth squat, and I don't know if I can write a tune to save my life. Gotta try, though. Sometime...

Sounds like it would be good to music...you should try to put it to music. If I had good recording stuff, I'd sing it for you, but the best I have completely distorts my voice. :P Ah well...

Yeah. I'd try it myself, but I know no instruments, and I'm not sure my microphone is worth squat. Still, I might try it.

For whatever reason, I have no idea who you are...weird. :P

Apologies. My alert thing is not working, so I was unable to reply sooner. :P

This is Mary! =)

You should. It would be very interesting.
