Poem
I have always counted myself extremely lucky to have been blessed with a wife who agrees with me that it’s the little things that make a happy life. It’s not only listening when the other person talks but hearing what they say. It’s a card to say I love you at the end of a bad day. It’s a little gift that’s given when there’s no reason for a gift. just to say ‘I love you’…to give someone’s day a lift. It’s a drive out in the country with a filled picnic basket in the back. It’s making pancakes together for dinner and sharing one large stack. It’s reaching something on the top shelf when your short wife is unable It’s the family gathered together for a dinner around the table. It’s sharing our stories, our joy, our laughter, with our children and grandchildren too It’s the smile that will not leave your face when the evening is through. It’s feeling a baby kicking while still inside a mother’s womb It’s holding hands, stealing a kiss or a shared smile across a room. It’s the sharing of our deepest fears, our long range hopes, our dreams and wishes It’s one person doing the cooking while the other does the dishes It’s sharing every joy and sorrow that in life comes our way. It’s calling just to hear a voice in the middle of the day. It’s watching the sunrise together and thinking of the day we met It’s spending a whole day doing nothing…then watching the sun set. It’s a walk under a moonlit sky or a stroll along the shore It’s simply living a life with someone you adore. Because these little things… these little gestures… these little moments that on the surface may seem small…. when you stop and think about them… they’re not so little…after all.
