Us tiny little humans...

I wrote this about an hour ago. I found inspiration just looking out my bedroom window.

A tiny little daisy, sitting in the grass.

Breathing in the fresh air.

No questions to be asked.

A tiny little baby, who smiles and doesn't complain.

Just sit's and looks around,

Never fail's to be amazed.

A tiny little dog who just want's to run and play.

All it needs is food and water to get through each day.

Us tiny little humans, we play such a small part.

Often we realise, when we look up to the stars.

 Us tiny little humans, want to do what we love.

Once we finally find it, it's still not enough.

To feel anothers touch, to hold onto anothers hand.

A feeling unless you'v felt it,

You will never understand.

To feel connected with a body, for some is more than enough.

Us tiny little humans,

All we really need is love.

Author's Note

Another simple poem I wrote not long ago. I wanted to convey how so many things in this world need so little to get by. Humans feel the need for more when all each of us need's at the end of the day and at the end of life, is someone to hold and love us.

How true this "tiny little poem" is...

- I used to look up at the stars and just wonder,
"how the hell did we wind up so conceited..."

we're supposed to serve the purpose of keeping it in order,
not overruling it all...you know...

the whole thing about needing -love- to surrender ourselves to in order to look past what
we take for granted, is a fresh way of putting it.
I like this line here,
""To feel another's touch, to hold onto another's hand.
A feeling unless you've felt it,
You will never understand.""

- that's perfect you know - wording the incapable.

I liked this write - very insightful

We ARE tiny in this world... read my latest poem "Murder of a Worm in Scotland" inspired by seeing a bird eating a worm on a lawn of my late aunts house in Galston in Ayrshire...

This is a very simple and sweet poem. The words flow well, as does the rhyming. It really shouldn't require a lot for us to be happy. Thank you, Natalie

I love the simplicity of this poem... we really are tiny compared to the planet we live on....we only make up 1% of ecology... the rest is made up of nature.

Really liked this.

Very sweet little poem. Has a free, gentle feeling to it. Like the soft feel of a child's cheek.

Lovely poem that tells so much truth. Beautfiully written. The honesty in it is what makes it so beautiful and well written. XX

not a little poem at all!! It speaks the truth; simply and honestly; the best way to write our thoughts upon the page. So true that 'all we need is love" and odd how in the seeking or and recieving of that love we ponder the future and how our passing might be felt and attended. Least it's a thought I've pondered since I was about your age. ;~) Some one to hold and love us... that is a fine feeling, when it's with us.
Fine write!! I enjoy!! Sallie Bear

"Once we finally find it, it's still not enough.

beautiful!... as my father says K.I.S.S, keep it simple stupid! hahaha... less is more right?.. ya thats right 2 cliche's right off the bat haha, no seriously i love the concept really.. with the grander scheme of things and the simple things(the little things are what help us get through), and the nice twist at the end tying it all together to love. the one thing all humans desire that isn't a living nessecity altho, some would argue with that, because a lonely heart is a dying heart.

much love n' respect

it may be a simply stated poem - but the meaning is profound, and very well written. Nicely done.
