Biggest Little Things



One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is give genuine gratitude
with an "I thank you"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is make genuine inquiry
with a "How are you?"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is form genuine asylum
with an "I back you"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is keep genuine loyalty
with a "true to you"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is state genuine appetite
with an "I want you"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is hold genuine certitude
with an "I trust you"

One of the biggest little things we can ever do
is show genuine affection
with an "I love you"
