Little Things

A silent nod of approval,
A quick word of praise;
A soft hand on your shoulder,
A smile upon your face.

These are the acts
that guide our hearts.
The insignificant acts
that play their parts:

When we feel desperate
beaten
and down;

When we feel unwanted
struggling
to drown;

An unseen act, a little call,
a careful word
or two;

Can make our efforts
seem all the more known,
when appreciated
by you.

Its the little Things that make things great,
The little Things that see us through;
The little Things that tip the scales
When we're trodden, weary and blue.

Its not the words
but just the act;

Not the actions
but just the fact--

That you are trying,
oh so hard;
to stop me crying,
to help me flee

The despair I feel, yet at that point,
You're there, And that
Alone
makes all the difference
for me.
