sometimes

a simple smile can end up

making someone

happy.

a mere compliment

can give someone a positive

influx of energy

and brighten up their day.

sometimes

a little appreciation

is all that's needed to make

someone's life worth

living.

sometimes

something as simple as

watching the butterflies unfold

their wings against the

skin of someone's finger

can bring a smile to

their face.

or the tiny fingers of a toddler

trying to intertwine

with theirs is enough to

melt their heart.

these joys may seem

inane in the grander scheme

of things, but therein

lies their truest happiness.

that's just how life works.
