Six Word Fridays: Give, said the Little Stream

Give, said the little stream, Give,

oh! give, give oh! give. Give 

said the little stream as it 

hurried down the hill. I'm small

I know but wherever I go, the

fields grow greener still. Singing, singing... 

Give, said the little rain, Give, 
oh! give, give, oh! give. Give
said the little rain, as it 
fell upon the flowers. I'll raise 
their drooping heads again, As it 
fell upon the flowers. Singing, singing...

Give, then for Jesus give, Give,
oh! give, give, oh! give. Give,
then for Jesus give, There is
something all can give. Do as 
the streams and blossoms do, For
God and others live. Singing, singing...

Singing, singing all the day,Give 
away, Oh! give away. Singing,singing 
all the day, Give, oh! Give
                  away!

This is a beloved Children's song I sang in Primary (LDS Church) as a child. It continues to be a favorite song as generations march on. There is an important message in the simple song.... Give! Give away!

With the reminder of the tragic events of 9-11, reports of Christian and other religious minorities in Iraq, fleeing to escape persecution and death, and news of countless catastrophic natural events happening all around the world, this song does, indeed, remind of us the many acts of kindness, compassion, and love that the good people of the earth give to help those in need and comfort.

And... they give! Singing, singing all the day!

We can all give some. No matter how little. We can be a part of doing something good in the world today. We can cheer up the sad. We can smile at someone. We can open the door for someone. We can be a listening ear. We can contribute to a charity fund for humanitarian efforts and other worthy causes. We can volunteer our services in times of trouble. We can give! We really can! And we should!
