Little Gifts

Little things can give life meaning

when you have that sinking feeling

like your boat has sprung a leak

and all you have is a colander

to bail you out

it can all seem very bleak

sometimes it's the rays of light

drying up the water that makes

it feel like less of a fight

When the world has you down on the ground,

and continues its beating

kicking and biting, scratching and screaming

forcing you to beg

when all you want is to crawl

into a hole to escape the attack

sometimes it's the hand that pulls you back

the one that applies the pressure dressing

to stem the bleeding

that makes life worth living

When the fires of hell, are tickling your feet

when the sweat from your brow, burns in the heat

and all you can think is, 'when will this end?'

a kind word can be a godsend

an insightful talk, A shared joke

a smile that raises hope, that doesn’t prod or poke

when life locks you in the dark

the right words can be the key to unlock your heart

Sometimes it's the smallest thing

that breaks the cycle

like a sincere smile

that raises

when you give your time to praise

rather than cause hurt

or when you find a new part of town

that you have never wandered down

seeing all new sites with smiling eyes

sometimes thoughts take flight

the love seen in eyes, that look deep inside

it's those moments that we share

showing that we care

that fill life with hope instead of despair

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
