Little Things

Little Things by Dillon D.

Our selfish desires can blind us

when they become our god.

They make us forget

all of our blessings.

Be thankful of the little things.

A roof over your head,

a comfortable bed,

these things we take for granted.

A kind word from a neighbor,

a gift from a stranger,

these things we overlook because our view is slanted.

Life is not about getting more.

A nice car

the fame and fortune of a Hollywood star,

these things, though nice,

can make us think twice

about the little things.

Life seems like a constant race

but we need to find our pace

Life is "a vapour that will soon disappear"

but I have no need for fear.

I am thankful for the little things I have.

With loving parents,

and encouraging friends,

how can I be sad?

But more importantly

I have a Savior that lovingly

gave His life

so that I can survive the night.

He keeps reminding me

that it is the little things I see

that truly fill me with everlasting glee.
