THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE It’s the little things in life that counts Like the clasp of an old mates hand, Encouraging words when pressure mounts, The thought that someone understands. A word of praise when we kick a goal, A cool hand laid on a troubled brow, A stranger’s smile that lights our soul And our day’s sunshine help endow. A small request, without demand Can help ease the strains of life, By one who knows, a guiding hand Can keep us free from strife. A friend to share a heavy load Or to help lift the feel of gloom, Of sad things, help you to erode, As dust and dirt before the broom. Someone stops and lends a hand To help you on to the winning post, The acceptance of a golden band, It’s little things that mean the most. The value of those little things If we treasure them with care, Will to us all much pleasure bring And with others may we share. Lindsay |

Linday - Okay Lindsay! Now you've gone and done it. You've created a poetic gem with this write that illuminates the forgotten smells, the tender moments and the times of joy that make up one lifetime. Thanks for this beautifully crafted reminder to stop and smell the roses of "the little things in Life". Loved it. Namyh |

How very true!!! I wonder sometimes if my friends know how often their words lift me... how a smile can make a miserable day bearable... how a fleeting thought can lead to sweet dreams. Maybe if they didn't, they can read your words and know. *S* Beautiful work!! |

Dear Ruth, A smile from someone, someone that you don't even know can certainly lift your spirits. It's just marvellous what a smile can do. Thank you my dear for your kind comment. Love to you my friend. Lindsay |
