  The Little Things That Make Life Better   By Steven Skelley   A child in his mother’s arms smiled at me today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   I felt the sun above as it warmed my face today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   The aroma of freshly cut grass wafted across my nose today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   One of my favorite songs played on the radio today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   I saw someone open a door for an elderly woman today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   I went to sleep knowing that I did my best to be a good man today I won't overlook all the little things that make life better   Little things make life better Little things make life better      Copyright 2025 Steven Skell...

  SEE YOU LATER by Steven Skelley SEE YOU LATER is a song I composed because of wonderful memories from my maternal grandmother. She never used the phrase goodbye. She always said see-you-later. If I made the mistake of saying "Goodbye, Grandma," she would always remind me, "This is not goodbye. It's just another see you later." When she passed on from this life, I was comforted in knowing the wisdom of her words: this wasn't goodbye. It was just another see-you-later. Hugs, Steven

  THINKING OF YOU SLOW DANCE by Steven Skelley THINKING OF YOU SLOW DANCE is a song I composed as a love song meant to be played or sung as two lovers slow danced in each others' arms. I woke up this morning thinking of you. I laid down this evening thinking of you. I'll wake up tomorrow thinking of you. Hugs, Steven

  CHOOSE ME is a song I composed about the feeling of wanting to fit in. It took me decades of growing up to realize that the only one I need to "choose me" is me. As a grown man now, I'm no more like a bough blown in the breeze. No more do I bleed from a painful need to constantly please. I am now at peace. I've made my mind cease to want to fit it. I feel confident to simply choose me. Hugs, Steven

  I START TO SMILE is a song I composed about someone who changed my life. I think we all know someone who magically appeared in our life journey at just the right time. I have several. I START TO SMILE is about the feeling I get whenever I think of them. Even if everything is going wrong, when I think of you, I always start to smile. Hugs, Steven
