Little Things

The first cry of a new born child,

A little boy’s confession for having lied,

A young teenager finding the love of his life,

Or an 80 year old man hugging his wife.

.

A little help when you need it the most,

Someone to love you even at your worst,

A few kind words when you’re out of mind,

Or a hand to hold when you’re falling behind.

.

When you miss someone and remember old memories,

When you kiss someone and make new melodies,

When you find shelter in torrent rain,

Or a healing touch when you’re in pain.

.

A little cool breeze in a sunny afternoon,

When you search for something and find it soon.

When you’re thirsty, a glass of wine

Or meeting your best friend after a really long time.

.

The warmth of the sun on a very cold day,

When you’re lost and finally find your way.

And when you’re burned out, a friendly smile.

These are the LITTLE THINGS that make Life worthwhile.
