With so many lonely, or hurting, or sad,
I pray over time they find reasons for glad.
I pray there is someone to speak a kind word,
Someone to listen, acknowledge they’ve heard.
A kindness performed out of love from the heart
Can begin someone’s journey to find a fresh start.
Even a smile, just a touch or a hug
Is better than turning away with a shrug.
A little compassion can go a long way
Towards lifting the spirit of someone today.
Don’t let opportunity slip through your hand,
Perhaps a small favor, it needn’t be grand.
I try to share kindness with words that I write,
Words that I pray are reflecting God’s light.
