they are the tiny things in life
that give us so much joy
in 2020 especially
you may wake up and dread the day
but the tiny things-
your friend invited you over
to sit in her backyard
and play some truth or dare
and some among us-
the tiny things like that
will give us all the joy
like a single ray of sun
peeking through the sky.
just remembering that
will draw a smile -a real one- across your cheeks
when you wake up
dreading the day
but the tiny things-
you smell
chocolate-chip pancakes
(your favorite)
in the kitchen.
the tiny things like that
will give us all the joy
like a single ray of sun
peeking through the sky.
so don’t dwell on what’s bad
covid, grades, anxiety
but remember the tiny things
those will change
your
life
