small things

i used to worry over

spilled milk.

small things that seemed to add

up

to some sort

of failure.

a crack in the wall,

a nail pop,

a leaky faucet.

an argument,

a misunderstanding,

but they're nothing.

they get taken care of

before long.

small things no longer

have

the power they once did.

they come and go.

just wait.
