SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE GREAT THINGS, by                    
Last Line: A butterfly upon a bush, a daisy in the grass
Subject(s): Likes & Dislikes


SOME people like the great things, and travel far and wide
To look upon the strange things, on sea and mountainside.
But I love the friendly things that pass before my door,
The friendly children and the flowers I've seen a hundred times before.
Some people like the great things, the far things and the tall,
But the little things that I love, they do not like at all;
I talk to all the friendly things the restless people pass,
A butterfly upon a bush, a daisy in the grass.
