Little things not thought about, That day by day emerge. A hand upon the shoulder When things are going wrong, Soft words echo on the ear, When for gentleness we long. Happy laughter sounding Just because you're there. Softness in a shining eye, Showing that we care. Being there in the morning, Sitting together at night.
