  • Been on a hiatus for awhile, but I'm back and have the itch to write some poetry.

Little Things

sometimes we get confused
about what matters most
for some its their possessions
to which they proudly boast
but it's not about the money
the cars or diamond rings
the things that matter most in life
are those little things
a smile on the street
to people passing by
a hug from a child
or a stranger saying hi
these things they get forgotten
as we're going 'bout our life
it seems we get too busy
and we never take the time
so tell that person that they're wonderful
it just might make their day
sometimes the most healing things
are the kind things that you say
its not required that you're perfect
in your search for angel wings
but the secret to happiness
is in those little things

you, my friend, are a very wise man. do you know what a remarkable perspective and outlook you have? I bet you're too humble to really be aware of it...so take my word, you pretty special.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
