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

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.

Beautiful poem to inspire. Life is made up of little, yet meaningful, things. BW ~ Mala

A whiff of a scent I knew years ago Just for a second Takes me back to that exact moment A wonderful example of a little but great thing and event. Beautiful Writing.

My dear friend. This piece is beautiful. This is the mortar(little things) that hold the bricks(life) together. Blessing.
