They're usually deemed as trivial, a word, a hug or smile,
don't doubt the truth that little things can be the most worthwhile.

Like sunshine on cool water, words of kindness warm the heart,
smoothing out the tide of worry, drying tears before they start.

Replacing frowns with laughter, lifting spirits that were low,
bringing life and cheer and comfort meaning more than we can know.

Only words - and yet their power's like an ever-surging sea.
I'm alone and still say truthfully, I'm proud to just be me.

Unlike the scentless sunflower with its gaudy crown of gold,
a listening ear is like a rose with dew in every fold.

It's like a prized possession, to be treasured in a vault.
A friend who loves me as I am and accepts my every fault.

Like a brave and valiant warrior that guards my soul from harm,
true friends are what keep me alive and give my life its charm.

Though sometimes dwarfed by giants because they seem so small,
compared to some extremities, little things mean most of all.
