Joy in Small Things

By Debmitra Das

I feel happy in small things, simple and true,

Like the morning sun painting the sky in blue.

A warm cup of tea, a soft breeze that blows,

The sound of the river which near my house flows.

A bird that sings and dances on the roof above,

A small act of kindness, a gesture of love.

The laugh of a child, true, honest and pure,

Around the city, a small weekend tour.

Life treasures are not trapped in a big moment,

But in little things and little components.

And when I am alone, I count them one by one,

The smallest joy shines as bright as the sun.
