Celebrate the Little Things

Birdsong
Irises in Springtime
A child’s laugh
The chilled morning air
Veins in a leaf
Toast with melted butter
The curve of a crescent moon
Animal tracks in fallen snow
A wind chime’s silvery tones
The ever-changing clouds

A friend’s hand
A loved one’s smile

I take in a deep breath
And let it whoosh out

Thankful for the small things 
that make life worthwhile
