Little things

It’s the many excitements that make life different

or let my day look sometimes far more interesting

a pleasant surprise when an old friend is visiting

and asks me how it is, my smile becomes so radiant

sometimes I’m already happy with a bird that sings

or the neighbour in front who hums a catching ditty                        
and is waving at his wife who drives to the city

just take a good start, a sunshine on butterfly wings

they are the little things that count, no money lost

on giving affection or being gentle and polite

a nice remark, the letter I’m now going to post

an apology to my uncle, to end this fight

to write, to shout it out, on the internet I’ll host

this message of love for live, what do you think…all right?
