Unspoken Melodies: Poems That Sing

The Riches of Small Moments

Sometimes the little things in life

Are more than enough to fill our strife

A gentle breeze on a summer's day

Or the warmth of sun on our face, we say

A moment of peace, a laugh with a friend

These are treasures that never end

In a world that's always on the go

We forget that time moves too slow

We chase after things that we hope will satisfy

But often miss the moments that just pass us by

The simple things that bring a smile

Can make our lives all worth the while

A child's laughter, a pet's wagging tail

A warm hug when things go stale

A cup of coffee on a quiet morn

Or a rosebud newly born

These are the treasures of life

Small moments that ease the strain and strife

We often overlook the beauty

When we're caught up in our duty

But sometimes the little things in life

Are all we need to free us from strife

A quiet walk among the trees

Or a pause to feel the evening breeze

The smell of rain on a summer day

Or a song that makes us sway

These moments when we are just living

Are often the richest gifts that we're given

A moment of clarity, a breath of peace

Are enough to make our worries cease

A smile from a stranger on the street

Or a bird's song that's oh so sweet

These little things that we receive

Can make us feel fully and wholly alive

We so often search for what we think we need

But the small things in life are what we truly should heed

A moment of kindness, a glimpse of wonder

These are the riches that we'll always remember

Take a moment and just breathe,

Observe the beauty that surrounds and weaves

Its way into our lives each day

And let these small moments guide our way

For sometimes the little things in life

Are more than enough to ease the strife.
