Barbara Gorelick Poet Acrostic

Breathtaking

Beneath the layers of everyday living the
Reality and grandeur of life is present in
Even the smallest of things that often go unnoticed.
At the flowering of green in a sidewalk crack,
To the determination of the smallest ant,
Here is the wonder of the world around us. 
Taken singularly, we often miss their significance,
Altogether, it can be breathtaking.
Kids are often more aware of little things,
It may be because it is all new, a daily discovery.
New eyes to see the bud, the caterpillar, the clouds.
Gladden your hearts with some of the little things...

Joanna Daniel March 13, 2016 at 9:02 AM Little things do matter. Wonderful take on the theme. "Kids are often more aware of little things" - so true.

Connie Marcum Wong March 12, 2016 at 2:57 PM I can relate so well to this beautiful poem Barbara. I see things through my four yr. old g.daughter's eyes. Poets see things others miss. #7 I loved this! Barbara Gorelick March 12, 2016 at 4:29 PM thank you Connie, enjoyed your comment....Barbara

Walter T. Ashe March 9, 2016 at 10:08 PM After reading this we all need to become more aware of the little things and our hearts will really "gladden!" I will apply this advice! Nice! :-)

Randolph Byrd March 9, 2016 at 4:14 PM I hope you find joy in the great things of life, but also in the little things, a flower, a song, a butterfly cupped in your hand. Liked your poem expanded on the above. Thanks for your comment on my Desert flower. If you are interested in "poetry penpal" email me at: [email protected] Randy
