A flower growing out of the sidewalk.

A perfectly smooth stone.

Completely peaceful solitude.

Music.

Orderliness.

A brand new sharpened pencil.

Seeing love.

Experiencing love.

Knowing you are accepted.

Butterflies.

Water rippling.

11:11 pm.

Even numbers.

Long words.

Compassion.

Sometimes it's the seemingly little things that get us through the day. Other times they aren't so small. Whatever it is, it's there for a reason. Use it.

"When you're going through hell, keep going." 

-Winston Churchill

@elycavill Thank you! I really appreciate that. I didn't mean to put it in poetry, I meant to put it under opinion, but if they think it works as a poem, who am I to object!

Admirable how you showed (related) so simply the relevance of details in one's life. Nicely done.
