The Little Things Matter Most

Small and maybe insignificant in size

Their presence takes a whole lot of courage to endure

But we do all we can to ensure their safety

They take a whole lot of our time

And constantly, our hearts go out to them

They become our essence

And life becomes so incomplete without their presence

So little they take the whole room

And so small they take the whole space.

Once they have arrived

Our prayers become that they stay

We become the least and they the most

Things begin to matter

And the little details become so important

The house needs to be clean

And their beds well made

We won’t accept mistakes from the sitters

And blame flies around as easy as an egg

The beginnings are very encompassing

Taking every bit of our time

Giving us less room to breathe

And a whole lot of mess to clean

Each day is an adventure

And each night we gather back lost strength

And free our minds from the much gathered tension

We yearn constantly for them

Never to be apart, always around

Not minding the constant shouting when a glass hits the floor

Or when we suffer from their fun

But that makes the world go round

Imagine the world without their cries and laughter

Boring as gray and brown

But for something we are grateful

If for nothing, for their being……….

We can’t wait to go home

We can’t let anything stop us

Are you the man of the house?

And you stay away for so long?

No wonder you grow old so quick!

Maybe not in face

But deep inside, where everything that matters dwell

Your soul becomes empty

Despite plenty years of experience

You still do not know where the secret is?

Run home and find yourself some peace

Where youth and age converse and find understanding

Where the truth of yourself is exposed but not mocked

………………………………………………………..

If they matter so much

Why do some plan to go on without them?

Some do not value their being’s essence

The pertinence of the matter is huge

Ever strange how little things set greater things in motion!!

See the ship and plane, what directs them? The wind?

Or the tiny handles?

See how huge we are

It’s the bits of knowledge accumulated over time

That makes the great enterprises

And generate the big names

Remember, “a stitch in time saves nine”

The mystery, you do not want to find out

But know this

The little things do matter, they matter most!
