Spread Some Kindness

People showing kindness to someone who needs it.

 

She stands on the beach.

Self confidence and respect for herself has vanished.

Words he had thrown at her pounds her memory,

like a hail storm pounds the earth.

An air plane captures her attention.

A sign trailing behind the plane reads:

You're a great person,

don't think other wise.

An irridescent smile lightens her face.

She feels happier and carefree.

 

A young boy sits on a park bench,

feeling unloved and unwanted.

His parents are divorcing,

each blames him.

The turmoil is drowning him.

He seeks a life vest to keep him afloat.

A minister walks up and sits next to him.

They begin to talk.

"God loves you, son," the minister tells him.

Sudden love over powers his soul.

 

A teen age girl in the hospital about

to give birth to her first child.

Her parents has disowned her,

and her boyfriend has ran off and left her.

The pain feels as if it's crumbling her insides,

like an earthquake crumbles buildings.

She closes her eyes to try and regain composure.

An ordely enters her room,

takes her hand in a kind gesture.

He helps her through her labor.

She feels joyful for once about the birth of her child.

 

An alcoholic comes out of a liquor store.

He struggles not to take that first sip.

He's lost his job, wife and kids.

He's on the brink of suicide.

A lady walks up to him,

and introduces herself.

She to is a recovering alocholic.

They go to an AA meeting together.

His strength is slowly coming back.

 

An obese lady sits in a resturant.

She hates her body,

it's nothing but a cell.

The bar doors are locked.

Parol is not forth coming.

A girl she used to go to school with

comes over and sits with her.

They begin to talk.

"You're beautiful inside and out," she told her.

All the sudden she felt beautiful.

 

In this dying world everyone could use some kindness.

Share some kindness.

Lend a helping hand.

Give comfort and recieve comfort.

Very well written and very sweet. It made me cry a little. It's a message that I think needs to be listened to more often.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Well written and beautiful piece. I myself believe in the beauty that lies within the heart. Great job well done

[Quinn Blackburn]

Beautiful message and well expressed. I especially enjoyed the closing. Honestly, every time I'm at my lowest point and feel like I have no hope left for my fellow man... someone comes along and quietly reminds me that I'm not alone, others care and choose to express their loving kindness. great job capturing that all-important pay-it-forward attitude! :o) wishing you laughter

I love Kahlil Gibran's poetry! Have you read The Prophet? If not, you should...I am sure you'd enjoy the beauty and wisdom in his words. I can see such wisdom in what you've written here. If only we could all be a little kinder and take the time to reach out to those in pain. Wonderful write. :)
