Things That Count

Missing image

 

 

 

It’s the little things that count in life
you have so much to gain,
when you’re down and lonely
just a smile can ease the pain.

A touch from one who loves you
can say so many things,
a hug is so much better
an all round warmth it brings.

A word that’s spoken kindly
or a gesture from a friend,
a letter from his far off home
with all their love they’ll send.

Just to sit together
or maybe take a walk,
when a friend would like your company
 and listen while they talk.

Remember when you down and low
these things I’ve said to you,
for little things are mighty
sent with love that’s strong and true.

    A beautiful and well written piece. Honest and true. The second stanza is my favorite. I know how a hug from a love one feels and how much you can long for one in times of need. And good luck with the contest.

    beautiful and true

    You did a beautiful job with this and it is so true that just simple gestures made in love and concern can lift an otherwise heavy heart, put the blue back in the skies, a smile on their face and a song in their heart. If we remember this every day and show others we really care what a difference we could make. thanks for sharing. childlike faith

    a simple thing

    words that share a friendship glow
    dance a walk with friend you know
    thoughts that talk a silent song
    swing in time a friendship long
