Little things make a difference
People do say
Surely enough
An unsolicited smile
Small gift
A helping hand
Can make a day brighter
Happier for most people
Who can attest to also
Little things ruining their day
Too much work
One minute past the hour
Ignoring gesture
Condescending colleague
Making the whole day lousy
Feeling unhappy
For such people whose days are
Made or broke by little things
Their lives are like the roller coaster
Up and down and down and up
So much dependent on outside factors
Like a canoe in the turbulent waters
Unable to maintain peace and
Happiness during the normal course of life
Blaming everyone and everything
For their unhappiness
As if the whole world and people
Surrounding their daily lives
Have the responsibility and duty
To make their lives happy
As if they are the princes
And princesses of this world
Until one day
If that day ever comes
When they realize
They are really nobody
No better than a homeless
Person down the street
