Little Things

Have you ever closed your eyes at night And savored every dream Looked into your father’s eyes Just to see that gleam? Have you ever taken a walk on the beach And felt the soft sand between your toes Memorized a loved one’s smile Down to the tiny crinkle in their nose? Have you ever felt the light inside you Suddenly spark and brightly shine Or traced the palms of your hands Each and every intricate line? Have you ever cherished mom’s sweet touch As she tucked you in at night Thanked God for all the little things For friends, for life, for sight? Amanda Twellman, 1999 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
