Finding joy in the smallest touch.

A flower is like a kiss,

Picked unnoticed, you don’t want to miss.

Our world is richer with who I am.

Holding on to the things that truly touch.

The ones in our hearts, the ones in our thoughts,

The real people out there, not the flashy gloss.

Tiny kindnesses planting seeds.

Treasures found in every place.

Ooooh… Ooooh…

The ones in our hearts, the ones in our thoughts,
