Sometimes the little things in life
Are more than enough to fill our strife
A gentle breeze on a summer's day
Or the warmth of sun on our face, we say
A moment of peace, a laugh with a friend
These are treasures that never end
In a world that's always on the go
We forget that time moves too slow
We chase after things that we hope will satisfy
But often miss the moments that just pass us by
The simple things that bring a smile
Can make our lives all worth the while
A child's laughter, a pet's wagging tail
A warm hug when things go stale
A cup of coffee on a quiet morn
Or a rosebud newly born
These are the treasures of life
Small moments that ease the strain and strife
We often overlook the beauty
When we're caught up in our duty
But sometimes the little things in life
Are all we need to free us from strife
A quiet walk among the trees
Or a pause to feel the evening breeze
The smell of rain on a summer day
Or a song that makes us sway
These moments when we are just living
Are often the richest gifts that we're given
A moment of clarity, a breath of peace
Are enough to make our worries cease
A smile from a stranger on the street
Or a bird's song that's oh so sweet
These little things that we receive
Can make us feel fully and wholly alive
We so often search for what we think we need
But the small things in life are what we truly should heed
A moment of kindness, a glimpse of wonder
These are the riches that we'll always remember
Take a moment and just breathe,
Observe the beauty that surrounds and weaves
Its way into our lives each day
And let these small moments guide our way
For sometimes the little things in life
Are more than enough to ease the strife.
