A Sea Shore Still Has Pebbles

Dear,

'It's the little things that make life
Worth living'
I believe that, and hope I forever will
The problem is forgetting
All the moments life stood still

The big events are memorable
Incredible

The little things by their nature
Are unremarkable

But when I'm pruney and gray
I want to remember today
All the small unremarkable moments
That made today great instead of ok

I got away with sleeping in class
Because last night I stayed up
Until the sky turned blue
Saying sweet words and thoughts
Like 'thinking of you'
Perhaps my classmates noticed
And didn't say a word
Because they saw the smile on my face
And knew I couldn't be disturbed

I went shopping the other day
And saw a box of Capri-Sun
And the little kid in me tugged
Until it threw me to the ground and won
I may not have enough for groceries
But I can fondly blow up the packet
Like a balloon, remembered from childhood memories

Right now, the watermelon I planted
Are finally starting to bear fruit
And by god, they are so tiny
There cuteness not subject to dispute

And lastly today,
The sun seemed a little brighter
It's light filters through the trees
The warm breeze hugs me just a little tighter
And let's me breathe with ease
The moon is laughing with joy
As my dancing footsteps clack on the floor
And trip over a lamp to destroy
(Just saying, my ass is still sore)

What a day today has been
One I'd like to be able to visit again
So please, when you're blind and deaf,

Remember what beautiful life you have left.

Sincerely,
