Small Things Poem by Aarushi Chatterjee

A laugh, a clap, a pat on the back
a little game with a jumping jack
a cherry topped cake, a choc the flavour you like
a summer scented morning, a ride on a bike.

a red-orange sunset, a nice clean slate
a little bit of extra jelly added to the plate.
words of praise from a teacher who you thought wasn't really nice
a hallo from a friend you never thought about twice

little things that give us pleasure
little things that make us glad
don't push away these things of life
don't let yourself be sad!

Such little things give us pleasure too, don't they?
