It's the Little Things

It's the little things you do That shows the kindness of you A pat on the hand, a look in the eye Taking time to listen to me cry A soft word calming fears The crack of a joke to help dry tears Made a lunch to give me a meal Knowing just how good it made me feel Listening to my hectic day A warming silence in an easy way The simple fact easy to see You really do care about me Making it known that you are near Reassuring there is nothing to fear It's the little things you do Makes it easy to love you Kindness Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina Riddle 6/8/15

Just lovely 'little things' that have lasting meaning, long after all the 'big stuff' has faded. Wonderful, sincere write, Timothy. G.L. in the contest. ~ Gershon
