The Little Moments

A gentle touch upon my skin 
A loving stare every now and then
A soothing whisper in my ear 
A playful tug as you pull me near
The times that you just let me be
The encouraging words you give to me
These simple things that let me know
Are the little moments that I treasure so
A silly laugh when you think I'm funny
A quick reminder of "I love you honey"
A wake-up greeting to begin the day
A kiss goodnight right before I lay
The hugs you give just because you're you
The acts of compassion when I act a fool
The hard times when you never leave my sight
The moments of pride when I get it right
Every heartfelt thing that helps me to see
All of the selfless acts that you do for me
From your every word to the ways you touch
Are the little moments that mean so much
