Don’t discount small things in life….
Lifestyle consists of series of events small,
That you remember better than the big ones.
How the big events affect life you may not recall,
But the small ones you remember after many suns.
Someone gave you his brightest smile,
Or his appreciation really made your day.
It would stay in your memory for quite a while,
Every now and then in your mind it’d replay.
Who remembers what you did when last war broke out,
Or when the first man landed on the moon?
But when your friend called you have no doubt,
And you walked in the first rain of the monsoon.
This has, for all of us, a beautiful lesson:
We should take pains to get the small ones right.
Perhaps someone’s burden we can lessen,
Or maybe someone’s day can be made bright.
Maybe our kindness he’d still recall,
After days, months and years.
Maybe for him it wasn’t all that small,
Maybe our gesture stopped his tears.
Don’t ever discount, in life, small things,
They lend to life colour and pep.
The real joys of life are carried on their wings,
They bloom like flowers at your doorstep.
….you recall them better than the big things.
