These little moments..
the first time we ride a bike,
       the first time we see a PG movie in the theater,
the first time we play dolls or cars, or both,

These little wonders...
why the clouds cry on our flowers,
why we have to go to bed so early,
why we should eat our vegetables,

  These little gifts...
  the necklace our grandma beautifully crafted together,
the little puppy dog or kitten we got for our birthday,
  the stuffed animal our new best friend gave us,

   These little surprises...
   the surprise party our friends do for us just because,
  The first time someone tells us they love us,
   The first time we tell someone we love them,

    These little joys...
          the smiles that appear one our face once we realize how much we mean to someone,
           the smiles and hugs people give us to show how much we've helped them,
     the saticfaction of knowing you're here for a reason,

      These little questions...
     Why we are who we are,
    Why we look past things that should be obvious that we later laugh about,
     Why we smile at strange times,


These are the little things that keep me going
Not one of my best works I'll admit.
I posted it anyway. I guess the story behind this is for me
for trying not to be a pessimist for once. I wrote it a long time ago, but never thought of submitting it. Hope you enjoy ~

:cries: That is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read :thumbsup: The sentiment is expressed in such a pleasantly sweet manner that I couldn't help but think back to those same instances in my own life, goodbye child hood I'll miss you :bye:

Again Great poem I thoroughly enjoyed it :D
