The Small Things


Some things in life

Seem so small.

Some things in life 

Seem to mean nothing at all.

We walk

We talk

Such easy things to do.

But what if one of these was suddenly taken from you?

What if one day you wake up

Try to stand

And you fall?

What if one day you wake up

With no voice at all?

Everything we have

Or will have

Will one day die.

Everything could be gone in the blink of an eye.

Some things in life

Seem so small.

But it is these small things 

Worth most of all.
