Do ye the little things.
Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd.
(Welsh saying attributed to St David)
They say in the village of Llandewi Brefi
That David caused a hill to grow,
A hill among the many hills
In Wales’ verdant land;
And though the land had no need of hills
And the tale bears the mists of myth,
Perhaps it shows a truth that may
Grow slowly in our minds:
That sometimes little hills may grow
Just for the beauty that they bring
And sometimes little things may be
The fairest in the land,
That sometimes life may take a shape
Which shakes our expectations and
Defies our thoughts of what we need
And lifts the ground beneath us.
