The Little Things

In the garden, "The Oasis of Love and Care ",
I missed you again.
The fish in the pond,
And the birds in their songs,
Felt my sorrow.
And the palms with their shadow,
And the flowers with their scents
Felt my sorrow.

But in the fountain the water drips told me
You are in my heart.
It’s only my hands miss to hold yours,
My ears, when words are echoing
My lips when air rushing through
My feet when touching the ground
My nose when thousands fragrances float
My arms when find you not
The empty chair and cup and shoes…
Only the little things are reminding me of you my love.
