Little Things Poem by Jim Yerman

When faced with tragedy or heartache
how does one withstand the pain?

By remembering the little things in life...
like the sky after a rain.

Like sunlight painting the morning sky
as it welcomes in the day..

Like memories, laughter and friendships
we've made along the way

Like smiles, hugs, melodies and sunsets...
how a baby's laughter is sublime...

Perhaps the only way to climb out of sorrow...
Is one joy at a time.
