Simple Acts Can Be So Profound

A five minute walk outside is good
A ten minute walk is better
A thank you note is very sweet
But what warms the heart is a letter 

Simple acts can be so profound

Give me some time to expound 

A smile at the cashier in the store

Could be the first smile they've seen in days

We don't realize that the things that we do

Impacts others in so many ways

Simple acts can be so profound

Give me some time to expound 

But what about those in your house

These are the ones we daily meet

A dream shared in the morning or  a hug at night

These little moments you just can't beat  

Simple acts can be so profound

Give me some time to expound 

You write one gratitude on a page

Five more, and your heart starts to soften

Try this for 30 days more

Then you'll want to do this more often

Simple acts can be so profound

Give me some time to expound

A Bible reading in a year is amazing

What an accomplishment to get this all done

But what I learned as a young mom

Was deep meditation on a verse; just one 

Simple acts can be so profound

Give me some time to expound

Long prayers in private are essential 

Short prayers ward off spiritual death

What I love to do even more

Is praying moment by moment, just like taking a breath 

Simple acts can be so profound

As I've learned as a student, mom, and wife

I'm so thankful for these lessons I've found

I hope to do them for all of my life...
