The Little Things

It's saying hello to a stranger,
Making someone smile,
And feeling loved.
It's the little things that matter most.

It's a book you can't put down,
Baggy sweatpants,
And hot coffee.
It's the little things that matter most.

It's thunderstorms,
The sound of water droplets on the porch,
And the smell outside after rain.
It's the little things that matter most.

It's making a decision,
Being confident,
And saying what you feel.
It's the little things that matter most.

It's the starry skies,
Cozy blankets,
And limitless dreams.
It's the little things that matter most.

It's the little things that make life:
Extraordinary,
Phenomenal,
And wondrous.
It's these little things that matter most.

- Grace A Wills (1957- )
