It really is the little things;
that mean the most of all.
The "Let me help you with that" things,
that may seem rather small.
The "I'll be glad to do it" things;
that makes your cares much lighter.
The "laugh with me, it's funny" things,
that makes your outlook so much brighter
The "Never mind the trouble" things;
the "Yes, I understand."
The interest and encouragement
In everything you've planned…..
It really is the little things,
That friendly word or smile
That adds such happiness to life
And make it all worthwhile
