The Little Things

It's the little things
The little things that make you smile
the small sparkles of joy
that cluster and dot your day 
Like little diamonds of wonder
Glittering light through the darkness
Collect the little things
Cherish them for the rare treasures they are
Adorn yourself with them
see them shimmer and shine 
a twinkling crown of stars 
bathing you in their light
Feel them seep into your skin and warm your soul
Be a vessel, Let joys tranquil light illuminate you
replenish and imbue you
as it brims and surges out of you
in a gust of laughter and a dazzling smile
Share your joy with others
Be a beacon of gentle light 
that refracts off their little things
and shows them the way
Teach them as you have learned 
To be happy every day
