Random Acts of Kindness

I helped a lady to carry her grocery bags,

I guy on the main street I gave him some food for free;

tomorrow I will smile at someone who will look sad –

and one of these days I am going to plant a tree.

Sometimes I will stop to assist someone who looks lost,

I wrote a great review for a pub that I adore;

I learnt CPR and became an organ donor –

I gave blood at hospital and I will give some more.

I bought flowers to my wife, she had a shitty day,

it’s good to offer a warm meal for someone in need;

I visited a local library with some treats –

and donated a lot of books cause I like to read.

Then I picked up litter in my favourite St. James Park,

busy day for my neighbour I stopped to land a hand;

I covered the cost of a bill at a restaurant –

and will buy lemonade from a kid’s lemonade stand.

The truth is kindness costs nothing and it takes no time,

giving compliments could make someone’s entire day;

to make sure they were ok, I checked in with my friends –

I say “I love you” often and I do it my way.

This morning I gave up the seat on a crowded bus,

and brought in food and snacks for my fellow office mate;

I left a thank you note for hardworking mailman –

yes, there are so many ways to make people feel great.
