More like me

It’s the small things that make the most difference

the cup of tea made by a friend,

the tiny bird sitting on your windowsill

the feeling of the sea on your toes

the ‘I love you’ from a loved one.

I treasure my favourite small moments

in a tight jar under my bed

and I open it whenever I feel lonely

to know that people love me.

The feeling of the sun on my face,

the way my girlfriend says my name.

The smell of the Bakery down the road,

the hug from my classmate,

the phone call from home.

I take notice of everyone around me

to see if they are enjoying the little things

as much as me.
