Little Things

What is it that inspires me?

The answer lies in little things:

Light shining through leaves on a tree

The melody when a bird sings

Loud laughter of a friend I love

A sweet summer breeze on my cheek

Pure, white light from the stars above

Sleeping in after a long week

Long conversations late at night

Sifting warm sand between my toes

Watching the sun set out of sight

Beholding a beautiful rose

Worn in sneakers that fit just right

The soft echo of my guitar

Flying a brightly colored kite

Road trips in my very own car

It is all of these little things

That make life truly beautiful

Finding the joy in everything

Is the secret to feeling whole

Because everything is awesome
