Every Time

It's the little things in life
That bring  such warmth into my heart
The things that others just call 'normal'
Things they never set apart

But I remember each 'I love you'
Every time you called me sweet
Every hug you wrapped me in
Every time that we would meet

I recall your tone of voice
The words so coated with concern
And even still I cannot fathom
How on earth your love I earned

Ever since I can remember
Life has been so dark, so cold
That every little act of kindness
Shakes my very heart and soul

Though you may think it goes unnoticed
I'd give my life just to repay
All the little things you do
Each time you chase the dark away

Beautiful and sweet. I really liked this poem and it's so true how so many of us can take the little things in life for granted when really they may matter more than the big things in life. Very nice :D
