Little Things...

Little things…

You feel them everyday & you may not know they say something.

Sometimes you cry, sometimes you sing,

Sometimes you fall down… sometimes you swing…

Sometimes while standing high on a hill,

Wind blows across your hair & lips…

And suddenly you want to open up your arms n smile,

And wrap yourself in your arms, thinking of someone special, making it worthwhile.

Little things… yet they mean a lil’ something,

Sometimes while swinging on a swing,

You take some nice steps & pitch yourself high,

As if you wanna fly… high up in the sky…

Little things… you would never think…

Why you felt happy when someone special saw you & winked?

Yeah… it’s not a little thing, having your first kiss,

But it is when you close your eyes & smile, every time you think of it.

Sometimes sitting at the terrace, staring at the sky,

Waiting for a star to fall at night,

So that you can make one of your wish come true,

And you fall asleep, waiting all through…

Little things…

While standing in a park in the middle of a street,

A tiny droplet of rain fall on your sleeve,

And you look up in the sky & watch thousands of them falling on your face,

You just smile & do nothing; instead let them wet you all through your way.

Sometimes taking a long walk in the dark,

You see a star smiling to you & you smile back at the star,

And you decide to sleep on the hammock in the garden & walk on wet grass bare foot,

And you watch trees dancing with the wind and you want to be a flower in them too.

Walking on a silent beach or on a sea shore,

Staring at the horizon & sparkling stones,

You take a deep breath & smile on your mind & on things going around in it,

They, who never leave you alone, are these tiny little things...

Little things… they happen with us all the time…

But often… we are just too busy to notice….!!

Take some time out for yourself… feel them… enjoy them…!!
