Poetry Thursday 58 - A.R.K.

 Simple small acts of thoughtfulness can be a powerful way to improving someone's day. One of my favourite actors is Morgan Freeman even though he's often seen playing God or the President. In one of the former roles he talks about changing the world with single acts of random kindness. I was the recipient of one such small act and two weeks on I still have the good feeling in my heart and mind.

A single act of random kindness,

sits happily in the memory.

An encouragement to be equally generous,

sharing the good with appropriate puffery.

 

A simple deed, a gentle touch,

a smile that warms, a helping hand.

A listening ear, a notional crutch,

the hope that makes the heart expand.

 

For in these acts, both big and small,
we weave a tapestry for all.
a world where love and hope entwine,
in every heart, a light will shine.
