Little Things


A cup of coffee in hand on a rainy day,
Sitting by the window with no words to say.
Waking up in the morning by your faithful dog’s lick,
Just when you thought the snooze button was pressed.
Turning into a child thinking no one’s around,
with what’s left of that chocolate bar or that melting ice cream cone.
Your best friend sharing that last bit of food,
Knowing you like it and you never thought they would.
Jumping on the couch, beloved team’s winning goal,
Looking around for a high-five and finding you’re not alone.
A child smiling at you with his sweet innocent face,
When you felt like a stranger at some random new place.
Getting cold at night in half sleep, blanket forgotten,
Waking up cuddled under mom’s blanket, not knowing since when.
Tapping fingers, swaying to your favourite tune,
Finding someone doing the same and that they like it too.
Hundreds of moments, a million beautiful sights to remind,
The way we see the world is a matter of heart and mind.
Ignored, forgotten, taken for granted, some little things in life,
Fill our lives with joy, gives us hope, and
For those Little Things we unknowingly strive.
