hearing the pitter-patter
in the quiet of the morning.
seeing the little furry face
pop around the corner,
just to check on you.
all the little things
we take for granted.
knowing that someone
is always.
beside you.
just wanting to be near.
hoping for a crumb of food
or a lazy pat.
all the little things
we take for granted,
that we hope
will last forever.
the race of excitement
as you open the door.
just to see you are home.
your shadow rejoices.
all the little things
we take for granted,
that we hope
will last forever,
the moments that
fleetingly pass us by.
knowing the warmth of fur
between your fingertips,
as you snuggle on the couch.
the wet licks when your hand
moves away for a second.
all the little things
we take for granted,
that we hope
will last forever,
the moments that
fleetingly pass us by,
time seems to freeze
as the moments become
memories.
treasure the moments
while they are here
and give thanks for the
sweet memories,
for all the little things.
