Random Acts Of Kindness

Random acts of kindness,
No matter who you give them to--
Makes your day and mood much brighter,
It's a good thing to do.

Friends, family--or someone
You don't know--
May well do it for others,
Pay it forward as they go.

It doesn't matter the "act's" size,
Or even the same type given you.
"Just do unto others as you would
Have others do for you".

It doesn't have to be money--
You can sit and hold the hand
Of a friend who is grieving, or
Teach a child to build castles out of sand.

Visit someone in the hospital,
Or send a card so they know they're not forgotten.
Call someone on the phone you don't
Get to talk to that often.

Go to see a shut-in,
And bring them some goodies.
Or just the visit itself
Will help them not be moody.

Love, kindness and respect
Are what most people want.
Animals are the same way--
From the oldest to the littlest runt.

Life on earth is not promised
To be happy and sunny--
But even the poorest can spread kindness,
Without spending money.

Don't buy into the class system--
Where some folks think they're better than others,
We all came into the world the same way,
By rich or poor mothers.
