I Remember the Little Things

I remember the little things
The friendly smile on a cobber’s face
The gentle cool breeze on a summer’s night cordon
The first cooling touch of the sea after a day shift
The mirror’s reflection of my first blue 
The sitting with mates and a beer
The first day with the thin blue line
The last time I wore the blue
I remember the little things.

Very personal piece, Paul, well-done. Makes this reader curious - I'm going back and read about the "blue".
