All The Small Things
During this pandemic
While doing all classes online
Being with family all day
Stuck at home
It’s the small things
That keep me from breaking down
From the anger and sadness and frustration
A cup of tea to warm my soul
Cooking a meal with my mother
Getting a text from a friend I haven’t talked to in a while
Watching my tortoise explore my house
Reading a book for hours
Creating a painting of a sun
Because that is what my town is doing
We are in this together spreading sunshine
Despite being indoors
More and more suns are made everyday
Put on houses and shared online
It’s all the small things
That are keeping a smile on my face

It's the small things that we sometimes over look that truly matters most in life yet it's sad that it took something like this to happen for us as human beings to reconnect on a compassionate and caring level yet I still wonder when all of this is over how many of US will change...respect dear poetess

In our country, children have been drawing pictures of rainbows to put in windows and even drawing them in coloured chalk on their own garden fences/walls or on pavements, as a symbol of hope.

Lovely piece with a reassuring peaceful message
"It’s the small things
That keep me from breaking down
From the anger and sadness and frustration"
And so very relatable especially right now during this crazy shit
