IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER THE MOST

It's the little things that matter the most ! 

As I walk barefoot on the sea shore 

I realize why little things matter more 

On gathering tiny tiny pebbles buried 

in the sand  why does happiness soar? 

I hear the ocean whisper in love 

to the myriad  dancing waves above 

A new  endearing relationship starts  

as they unite their pure beautiful hearts 

I feel the gentle cool breeze  ooze calm 

erasing  all  negatives with a positive charm 

nurturing the beauty of the soul within 

Happiness  and joy stealthily flows in 

I see the Palm tress nod sing  and prance 

Whispering sweetly "take a chance "

It's the small things that matter they say 

let go the  heavy mind clutter  and sway 

I sense  gritty sand cling to my feet 

Says  don't shake me away I am here to greet 

How ever tiny i may be in this vast space 

There is a lot of strength hidden in my grace 

Oh no ! 

I believe I nearly stepped on a slimy snail 

Don't hurry and scurry Is what I heard it say  

It's these small things that matter in life 

Being slow and steady is the mantra to rise 

I beam a hello to a stranger and make him smile 

It's these little things that matter all the while 

engrossed in a book perched on a sand dune 

Looking up he says "cheers "in a sweet tune ! 

I see the twilight turn into a beautiful starry night 

darkness around  make the stars shine bright 

these small things have lessons  hidden in them 

It's these small lessons which make us humane 

Yes oh Yes ! 

it's these simple little things that matter most 

Spread love and forgive all with equipoise

See God  in all  his creations big and small 

Listen and learn to be happy from them all
