The Little Things
The rushing wind through my hair.
The sound of songbirds in the air.
The smell of spring with flowers in bloom.
Beautiful sunlight to brighten up the gloom.
Ocean waves gently breaking on shore.
You, walking by my side once more.
Life is good. As sweet as honey.
Even though we haven’t got much money.
It’s the little things that have meaning.
Like the way cats give their fur a cleaning.
Or dogs bark at an unknown sound.
They warn you when danger is around.
The miracle of a chicken laying an egg.
How you can teach a dog to beg.
How you love me, a common man.
You love me for the man I am.
All of this reminds me of you.
Reminds me that your love is true.
The little things in nature is love.
Sent to us from God above.
Just as I know this is true.
I know God sent me to you.—————R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
