What is life but endless nights
slow days, Monets, and Christmas lights
days when the phone rings and rings
what is life but little things?

Sneakers baring tiny toes
loud clocks, warm socks, and present bows...
Broken balsa airplane wings
what is life but little things?

paper cuts, and broken pinkies,
dress ups, mess ups, tangled slinkies...
The song a perfect stranger sings
what is life but little things?

Late night movies, black and white
winks, ice rinks, clown night lights…
not knowing what tomorrow brings
What is life but little things.

The silence of a cyrstal night,
A new day dawning clear and bright.
The sparkle in the small childs eye,
A single star up in the sky.

A flower blooming in your sight,
Something accomplished with your might.
A soothing touch of one so dear,
A whispered word right in your ear.

Your thoughts are true, the words are clear,
You've touched me in my heart, right here.
You've made it rock, hear how it sings?
What is life but little things?

The touch of a tender hand,
The shifting of crystal sands,
The gleam in a lover's eyes,
The wind's most suble sighs.

A wish upon a shooting star,
Knowing friends are never far,
The blessing of warm sunshine,
And the scent of winter pines.

Life is truly the little things,
And the happiness they bring.
Your words have touched my heart,
As they have from the very start.

Castles in a cardboard box
spring rains, car lanes, and chicken pox
Under the table queens and kings
what is life but little things

Paper hats and tree branch swords
closed eyes, French fries, and ouiji boards
Young love complete with friendship rings
what is life but little things

(I already responded to this in the open forum, but I figured I'd add it in here too...)

A school girl crush,
A teddy bear, oh so plush.
Some giggles here and there,
A quick game of truth or dare.
A set of beautiful butterfly wings,
What is life but simple things?

A friendly smile
Across many a mile
A helping hand
To pull from quicksand

The sparkle in a child's eye
Just watching a fire fly
The smell of new fallen rain
The gift wrought from pain

A friendship true
From out of the blue
Hearing the laughter ring
Life is every little thing

Christmas lights brightly aglow,
The look of fresh fallen snow,
Children filled with glee,
Being in awe of all they see.

Melting icecream on summer days,
Morning's enveloped in misty haze,
The scent of a lover's skin,
The embrace of cherished kin.

Skirts fluttering upon the breeze,
The roar of the deep azure seas.
The touch of a feathered wing,
Yes, life is truly the simple things.
