It's The Small Things
In the warmth
of the morning sun
they sat together
on the veranda
sipping their coffee
and reading the paper
like Nick and Nora Charles
from the old movies.
They joked and smiled
occasionally sharing
a small piece of news
they had read.
They knew
that these were special times
that would someday
make fond memories
to sift through
in the golden years
ahead.
