Les petites choses de la vie

In this life, to get you by
You must enjoy the little things
Stop, listen, look and lie
In wait for the sparrow that sings
Roaring seas, mighty trees
Spring's first bloom, the spider's silk loom
Toes in warm sand, a baby's tiny hand
A rainbow's wonder, stormcloud's thunder
Winter's first snow, rich earth down below
The balance of time, two right words to rhyme
The beat of a strong heart, the priceless work of art
The ancient tribal dance, your favourite pair of pants
The grace of a silhouette, a game of russian roulette
Canada's favourite sport, your child's messy fort
The first fish you caught, grandma's warm tea pot
A friend's kind word, that's sometimes unheard
Without these things, and so much more
Life could never go on
So look around you, the world's to explore
Before it's gone
