The (Forgotten) Little Things
The quiet that whispers as the sun peeks good morning
One sweet stretch and a soft breath to reset
The smile of stranger, perhaps a friend I haven’t met
That handwritten note – the warmth of words soothes from the page
Human connection that surpasses gender, race, or age
That warm cup of tea in my favorite princess mug
Bearing beloved memories that feel just like a hug
I love the light rain as the many puddles scatter
When I run from my woes on to things that really matter
Laughing so hard, my breath slips away
Surrounded by ones, who’s love could never fray
Dancing, my body relaxed and free
A promise I made for serendipity
To reach for the sky like the sunflowers do
When I get there, I’ll say wow what a view
Sorry for peace and tranquility
Forgiveness to put my resentment to sleep
The worn -in book that many eyes have glanced
Heroes and heroines that insist we take a chance
Life’s short but blessings exist when we look
Often the little things we accidently mistook
