Birds coo
A tree sways

Things happen
Unnoticed

Pictures lost
Memories fade

Is this
Forgotten

Was it
Real

There it is
Is now
There it was

Was it really

Do you
Remember

Little things

A smile
A breath
A drop
Of summer rain
The smell
Of a
Flower
The glow
Of someone’s
Heart

These things
Are real

Aren’t they

A dog barks
Feelings hurt

Things happen
Unnoticed

Happiness

About little things

Getting ice cream
A new toy
Winning a game
A sweat kiss

Sadness

The little things

Toy breaks
Shoe lost
A harsh word

Are those
Important

What about

Death

What emptiness
It causes

Are you sad

Do little
Things matter
Compared
To that

Can you
Cry about
A toy
Or a missing
Shoe

When there
Is death
Don’t waste your
Tears

But tears can’t
Waste

What about
Being
Cured
Of a
Sickness

Can you smile
Now

Are kisses
Important
Compared to
Being saved

Don’t waste your
Smiles

But smiles can’t
Waste

The little
Things

Are important

Love

And remember

Fore someday
Life will change

And you will
Have to
Always


Remember
