Those Little Things
You needn’t win the lottery,
Get married or give birth
To have a day that lifts you up
And makes you feel your worth.
For little things are what may paint
A smile upon your face –
A grandchild’s voice, some daffodils,
A legal parking place.
A lunch with friends, a brand-new hat,
Your favorite type of book,
A walk along the river,
Yummy food you didn’t cook.
An ice-cold beer, an ice cream cone,
A bike ride in the breeze,
The perfect music for your mood
(And no one disagrees).
Every day cannot be special
But those lovely little things
Are the pick-me-ups that matter,
Smoothing out life’s daily dings.
