Things

It is the
Small things
That are most
Reassuring in life
Bread and butter toast
And jam milk and cookies
Chocolate and all the salads
In the world meat and potatoes
Sunrise sunset rain on the roof
A smile a laugh a hug the way
A child asks you questions
The warmth of family to
Balance the passion of
Our special other we
Embrace hold near
All these bit by bit
Are the small
Things too
Big for us
But in a
Pattern
Dear
To us all,
Small things.
If one thing blocks
Out most others then
Perhaps you need a hobby.
How long has it been
Since you tried
Something
New?
Well ...
That’s too long.
