Stop looking and living

For the “Big Things.”

The vacations, the weddings,

The holidays, the new babies

Are good and lovely,

No denying!

Exciting

And fleeting.

Stop pining, start thinking!

What are you missing?

The moments are ticking

Away while you’re dreaming

About those “Big Things”

That leave you still wishing.

Quick beauty

Of high degree.

Start thinking and using

The seconds you’re losing!

The slapstick, the melodies,

The wonders, the creature-play,

Equally lovely,

Exciting

And fleeting.

Start learning and laughing

With the “Little Things”

Which are the Big Things truly.

Every single moment passing,

Fast as childhoods, birthdays,

Christmases, weddings.

Every moment lovely,

Wonder-inducing,

Fleeting.

Flowing

From beauty

Of Highest degree.
