Life is quickly moving
a never-ceasing race
where each and every one of us
is fighting for first place
But maybe if we paused
if even just to breathe
we might begin to notice
All the Little Things
If you look you’ll find them
safely tucked away
snuggled up in secret corners
untouched by the chaos called today
You might not always see them
but know that they are there
in the smell of baking cookies
in the purring of the kitten on the chair
They lurk in every trill of laughter
dwell in the heart of every grin
come knocking with the sun beams
if we’d only let them in
Some people long for riches
others hunger after fame
but if they’d look again
they might see it’s not the same
For when everything important
appears to drift away
Take comfort in the thought that
All the Little Things will stay
