How can little things mean so much?
With just the brush of the hand
Or the slightest touch
Many things we take for granted
That can mean so much
Like the sound of a bird singing
Or the wind chimes ringing
Or the petals of rosebuds opening
With all the radiant colors of it showing
The taste of a fruit so ripe and so sweet
Making our taste buds dance with delight
With each coming bite!

Yes little things can mean so much
With never really thinking just how much
Like listening to our elders
From years gone by and even seeing
A tear appear from their eyes
Reminiscing from days of the past
Good times and sad times
That all went so fast
Are now sweet memories all tucked away inside
Deep in there heart and souls and mind

Yes little things can mean so much
Many times without even a touch,
But don't hesitate to reach out to someone,
For just a little hug may mean so much,
It’s just the thought that you thought of them
For someone who may have just needed a friend,
So yes little things can mean so much
With just a hello, or the slightest touch,
So please never forget a passing thought
What you may think means so little
Can mean a lot.
