Sometimes it is the little things that mean the most. A beautiful sunrise on the eastern coast. A new born babe to hold and love. A night with twinkling stars above. Sitting here with you. Thinking of all we have been thru. Knowing no one else has been with me. As long as you have been there. It hurts me to think. Of life sometimes so unfair. I wish you could spread your wings and fly. Go see the things I have before you die. We're not getting any younger. And I still face life with such hunger. I don't understand what happened to you. I was there I had the same childhood too. I chose to take the best. Leave the negativity to rest. I know there is a part of us that is the same. When I told you of a happy memory. I could see your smile. Something we both had not thought of in a while. Just a simple little thing. Not thought of at the time. Joy now it brings. All the money you can have. But something's just can't be bought. A beautiful rainbow in the sky. Open land and fresh air. Smell of fresh cut hay. Sometimes life is just not fair. Don't let that thought get in the way. Take what you have and make it work. Learn in life to make a garden with your dirt.

About this poem:
Went to breakfast with my sister and could not help but to think how different we turned out to be when our childhood was the same. And how different our outlook was on the life we have now and the life we had. Why did everything that happened to the same two people not affect us the same?
The little things that make us different are what makes us who we are. Nice write!

Agreed!...Small things in life have the most value.. As individuals and therefore unique in our own special way..at times one can wander.. a prompt now and then does remind us/them of the value of life. Tis often all they/we need.. A fab remimder to us all, and a great read to..
Thank you HGL for posting..
