How Precious Are The Little Ways

 

How precious are the little ways
That keep the romance in our days,

The unexpected small caress,
The playful act of tenderness,

The gentle taking of a hand
To softly say, "I understand,"

The little now-and-then surprise
That so enlivens tired eyes,

The glance that shines with quiet pride,

The hug that says, "I know you tried,"

The sweetly reaffirming bliss
of always parting with a kiss.

How precious are the little ways
That keep the romance in our days.

 "In a world of self-confident bluster, do not undervalue the charm of seeming shy and unassuming and, at times, a little lost."
