Little Things

Little things 

Every day

The same.

I wake up,

My mind fills with dread for the day


But I get ready--

I go to school


The days run together

But there's always something,

Something that makes the day worth it


Today--

It was a package of donuts


I walk into class,

Math.

No one wants to be in that class


But--

I see my best friend

Shes holding a package of donuts

Perfect powdered donuts 

Small, but exciting

We laugh, 

We talk about our day so far, 

I joke about the powder left on her hands and mouth

The donuts don't last too long


But they are the reason behind many laughs

Many smiles

Many dumb conversations

It's the little things 

The very little things

That can flip the whole day around


I love the little things

This poem was written about just a random day in math class and about me and my best friend being dumb.
