Shining With Compassion..by Michael

A kind word with a smile, a twinkle in the eye

Shining with compassion.

Ingredients to heal another's wounds.

Perhaps between friends, maybe between strangers.

The result is the same as

The receiver feels better than before.

Payback comes the same way it is sent.

Sheila holds up a fresh cup of coffee

To the stranger who first offered it to her

When she was down and out.

A morning walk through the park where he found her.

Her last coins were spent

On him with the return of thankfulness.

Richard took her in with a kind word and a smile.

Sheila made a payback

When she said yes to an engagement ring.

There was a twinkle in her eye

That was shining with compassion...
