Little Things - Mean So Much

It's the little things that I remember...

How soft your cheek felt
when I wiped your tears
that night your little kitten died.

How mellow your eyes looked
the first time I whispered;
"I love you."

How red your face got
when your mother embarrased you
in front of me, when we first met.

How beautiful you looked
when you curtsied and bowed
after performing your art; just for me.

How your skin sort of glowed
when I found you covered with mud
helping your brother to landscape his yard.

How you made me feel,
when you offered to help take care of my Mom,
when she was terminally ill.

How you hid from me,
when you thought I'd be mad
because you lost your ring.

How you kissed my hand,
to make it better
just because I cut it.

How you quivered and shook
the first time I kissed you;

How you make me feel; even now;
after all these years;
everytime you hold me.
