In the midst of life’s overwhelm, I had to learn to notice and cherish tiny joys to find my center again. This poem is my gentle reminder, and maybe yours too that Tiny Joys can create Big Shifts in our hearts, one blessing at a time.
In the midst of my uncertainty, I fought and struggled
Heart and soul to keep afloat while mourning my “used to”
I clung to the life that was no longer, and I juggled
Too many pieces to sadly fit an imaginary void, too
For my life was already overflowing with quiet blessings
I had everything I needed, yet I was deaf and blind
Blind to the beauty around, caught in endless guessings
All I needed was to be open-minded and to myself, kind
They say pause to smell the roses, I needed to be still
To listen to my inner voice, to soak in the quietness
To be consumed by peace, joy, and warmth in the chill
To navigate the currents with grace and liveness
At the curve of my children’s smiles, my heart melted
Each hug offered me a world for release and replenishment
With a walk under the rain or barefoot, worries quelled
Routines became a new world of joy and nourishment
The small things are not small, for they moved mountains
Breathing the same air, yet my lungs are full and light
Eating the same food, yet flavors are flowing like fountains
Joy doesn’t always shout; sometimes it whispers with delight
Let the tiny joys and changes take their course, and be ready
To enjoy the big shifts of happiness, peace, and be moved
Let the whispers guide you to notice the wonders of your journey
Bask in your blessings, for you are beautifully made and loved
With warmth,
Jasleyv
