Little Joys

Be joyful in the little things,

For life is filled with those,
And it is from those little things
That great joy often grows.
 
The bright splashes of color
When all is drab and gray,
Can hold enough encouragement
To lift you through the day.
 
So open up your eyes to see,
Let your heart understand
That joy is born in simple things,
Not in the vast and grand,
And be on watch for little joys
That linger close to hand!
