The Little Things

It’s the little things that make a life
And not the huge occasion.
Convincing others, though, might take
A dollop of persuasion.

A wedding’s often memorable
But to the bride and groom,
More special are the moments
When their love began to bloom.

A baby’s birth we can’t forget
But in a little while
That vision won’t compare to
Each accomplishment or smile.

Anticipation of vacation’s
Part of the appeal
But looking back, we might recall
One laugh or one great meal.

Our lives are built of little things
That lack a starring role,
Yet add them up and you will see
They form a perfect whole.
