The Little Things

There is no match for the little things 
Honest to God
Nothing can bring me more joy 
Than those little things 

A whiff of a scent I knew years ago
Just for a second 
Takes me back to that exact moment 
With vivid surroundings and sights to reckon 

The way my grandfather looks 
At his world, as she speaks 
His eyes attached to hers 
Hers don't even notice

Coffee in a tiny glass
Just like in a restaurant I had forgotten about 
Made me smile 
Made me happy 

Days are long, yet so very short
And these little things remind me to go on
That there is more 
That I need to work hard to keep these little things

Reason A. Poteet July 16, 2021 at 3:42 AM Shreya LN, I like the way Curtis described your concept. You've seen buildings where the brick has cracks and how it has been repaired with the wrong color of mortar. We have a church in town with so many of these repairs which is helping to hold that church physically together, but don't you wonder about the little things therein that has kept that church intact as a spiritual body. Lovely theme, I will work on an entry. You have inspired me.

Curtis Johnson July 13, 2021 at 12:24 PM My dear friend. This piece is beautiful. This is the mortar(little things) that hold the bricks(life) together. Blessing. Shreya Ln August 12, 2021 at 4:54 AM Thank you for your kind words!
