come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
it’s a small plastic bag of sour jellies
that brings me so much soft comfort
I can look over sharper pieces on the street.
It’s a fading smooth mango sunset
that brings sweetness to my eyes
I can look through the darkness.
once in a while,
I look at the small things
to walk this walk.

small things matter
tying shoe laces correctly
writing letters legibly
taking a moment to stare into a mirror
matters before you realize it matters
so please don’t forget to look ahead
and tend to the small things when you can
otherwise,
it might rain on payday
