Maybe The Little Things Are Big, Too

A poem

Sometimes, when we chase a big dream,
like a book deal, or
a new business, or
a home to call our own, or
something else entirely,
we forget that the little things can be big, too.

Little things like clean sheets,
and long hugs,
and laughter that fills your home.

Things like sunset gazing on a Monday afternoon,
as you sit with your beloved over oysters and wine.

Things like coffee that warms you from the inside out,
dancing upon your tastebuds,
bringing a smile to your face at the start of your day.

Things like people who know the lines of your face,
and the freckles upon your nose,
and the way the sunshine makes your eyes sparkle.

I hope you chase your big dreams and bring them to fruition,
but please don’t forget about the little things, too.
