Life’s Little Inspirations

There are so many different
Small things in our surrondings
That makes your heart grow warm
The ones you don’t always notice
The ones that lie hidden beneath
All the noise and chaos of life

The sound of a child’s playful laughter
Echoing on a afternoon breeze.
The ray of sunlight shining
Into a dim and darkened room
Like a single stream new of hope
A full moon that hangs heavily
In the black velvet sky above
Reflecting a soft glow on
The nights shadows laying below
The sound of laughter emerging
From a loved ones lips with glee
The comfort of your best friend
Over that special towering bowl
Of chocolate chip mint ice cream
The warmth of your favorite blanket
Offering shelter from a cold winters night.

It’s so easy to forget how many
Wonderful things there is in this life
Things to inspire us and give us hope
We just have to learn how to
Open our eyes and see what is there
And let inspiration’s faint flicker
Grow and warm our hardened hearts
Take the time to look around and smile
And enjoy life’s little inspirations

What a beautiful wake up call you have penned.  You are so right when you say there are so many things in life that we should be thankful for and your wonderful words caress the heart as a gentle reminder.
