I have met some very wonderful people in my life and been blessed to have gotten to know some pretty amazing Seniors these past couple years. I won't ever use real names for privacy but this particular guy was an amazing old man. He loved to wear a hat daily and always no matter what, had a smile. He was a big guy by nature and had a heart of gold to match. He couldn't ever say much. But he appreciated the little things every day. This poem I wrote for him a few weeks before he passed! Today, take some time to appreciate something you may take for granted. :)
L~ Gone...but not forgotten:
Little Things
It's the little things, sir
That makes a difference in one's day
It's not how cute our clothes are
Or how much money that we've made
It's the smile that you gave me
Today while you ate your meal
It's the way that you said Thank You
That makes my life feel real
It's the little things, sir
That matters most, you see
I am thankful for YOU, my friend
for sharing your time with me!
