The Little Things

The little things you don’t notice
The little things you don’t say
Are those very little little things
That drive my heart away….
 
The choice word… the hungry look
The gentle brush against my arm
That very gentle knowing smile
Are those little things that charm!
 
No, you don’t have to be a poet
And no, you don’t have to be divine
Just pay attention to those little things
That tell me, “Glad you’re mine!”
