The little thigs of life Are to most of no great affair Such as the warmth of the sunshines rays Or the coolness of the evening air
The little things of life Are so often unaccounted But if we would stop and take notice We would stand astounded
The little things of life For such we have no time The colorful leaves of fall Or a ringing church bells chime
The little things of life Come to us each passing hour A thorny bush of roses Or a welcomed springtime shower
The little things of life Fill up life's empty spaces Let's us know that God loves us And reveal his many graces
The little things of life Seem to be missed by our eyes A trees limb bending in the wind Or the beautiful azure sky
The little things of life Quickly appear then they are gone Such as a smile on a strangers face Or a lonely sparrows song
The little things of life Are given to us free The sound of a gently flowing stream Or the shade of an old oak tree
The little things of life Like a word so kindly spoken Can ease a wearied mind Or help mend a heart that's broken
A thousand little things Unnoticed by our eyes or ears Is a thousand little blessings Missed throughout our years.

My daughter and I came up with the idea to challenge each other . We agreed that each of us would come up with a title and we would each write a poem under that title to see what different ideas we would write for that title. Little Things was my idea. If you enjoyed please go to my daughters page,Crystal Sacco, and read her poem of the same title. Our next duel is one of her making, We will each be writing a poem under the title "Things I Have Seen" Hope you have enjoyed our writes.
