Random Kindness

Random Kindness

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(Especially at this time of year)

"
when all the world’s in conflict
and the path ahead uncertain
each one of us in our own small way
can lighten someone’s burden

so if you read these words today
please remember what I’ve written
and practice what I’ve asked of you
to see the warmth you’ve given

a simple greeting like hello
this can’t be understated
can lift sad eyes and spirits too
like a balloon does when inflated

Dear Chris,
Such simple yet sound words of wisdom. When we're kind to others, we're kind to ourselves. So, your words are the perfect recipe for lasting joy for all. The world is so much a better place if we all adhere to basic acts of kindness. Loved this beautiful poem. ❤

An uplifting message of small and random acts of kindness; the bedrock which uplift spirits, break the ice and spread positivism.
A worthy poem.

You are welcome Chris Shaw.
dear Chris… Balloons can be Prayers… ascending on High. When I look into someone’s Eyes… I know there is a Spirit that cannot be denied. A Christmas of blue lights on a Tree are Prayers for all the people longing to be Free. Amen… Pat
