Random Acts of Kindness

Accidental Poet



 

A disabled car parked

On the side of the road

A truck driver pulls over

Going into helping hand mode

 

A cat meows from a tree

A small boy springs into action

The cat safe on the ground

From the boy’s concerned reaction

 

An elderly man falls

A woman runs to help him

On to his feet and alright

No broken limbs

 

The wind knocks over

A store’s outside display

A passerby picks it up

And continues on his way

 

A dog searches for his owner

The woman reads the collar tag

A phone call later

See the dog’s tail wag

 

‘Tis a fine thing we do

When we go out of our way

To help each other

And smile today

    Good write AP.
    Two people heard me sing. One gave the other a pair of ear plugs, and said 'Your need is greater than mine!' lol.

      I wonder Orchi, what would happen if you wore ear plugs and couldn't hear yourself sing? 🤔

          Every act of kindness in the world counteracts the wrongs committed against the innocent. Thanks for reading and your compliment Fay.
