All the Little Blessings

  Such simple things

Make me smile

Songs of birds

Vanilla ice cream

The sweet sound

Of innocent laughter

Tears of joy

A circle of friends

Walking on the seashore

In my bare feet

Chasing a seagull

The beautiful sunset

Reading a good book

Swinging in my backyard

Dancing in the rain

Singing at the top of my lungs

Autumn leaves

Hot cocoa and marshmallows

Fireside stories

Spending some time alone

Piano keys

Hearts and flowers

A sparkle in your eyes

Opening gifts

Placing the star

On top of the Christmas tree

Watching the snowflakes

Dance to the ground

A baby's smile

Jumping on a trampoline

Listening to music

A bouquet of wild flowers

Watching God's miracles

In many people's lives

Changing hearts

Including mine

These are all the things and more

That make my life a joy to share

I will constantly thank God

For all the little blessings He gives

Author's Note

So many things in life I'm thankful for...

Every little blessing is one of God's miracles in disguise. As I well know "the little things most often have the biggest impact," and it is so true. When someone is gone, sometimes even temporarily from us we tend to miss the little things so much like exchanging any type of intimacy with them such as a hug, kiss or holding hands, laughing with them, and seeing their face. Also when someone is asked about the ones who raised them their fondness for that adult is not managed by how much they bought them but by how much they said I love you and how they showed them that love by their actions. Not only that but those small things carry with us and have an incredibly high influence on who we are and who we will become. This and all of these things that you have mentioned are abundant in beauty in different ways and being included in it is are our heaven on earth :] A wonderful point to a great poem.

This was a wonderful and soothing flow of joy to read. It's words bring back fond memories of my own youth as well as breed hope for the good things that may spin into existence down the road that I travel.

Thank you for sharing your words, it was a pleasure.
