ORDINARY BUTTONS

Buttons are treasures that touch all our lives
They’re sown on a jacket or shirts without ties
Their colors all blend on a fancy new dress
To help make you look like a royal princess.

So why do we treat them with so little worth
When buttons are used all over the earth?

Or maybe a lesson or two can be learned
From these useful treasures that often are spurned.

I think that the Lord who created mankind
Has one special plan for each Christian in mind.
No matter how small or simple the task
Each deed that is done will bring pleasures that last.

So next time you think that your gift is too small
Remember those buttons and give it your all
Each garment of love that you help to complete
Is one of the crowns we will lay at His feet.
--B. Pent
