It's the Little Things

One early morning started off the same I read my book as my coffee came I enjoyed my drink and my book but I was shocked when I took a look A woman in a purple blouse Looked towards me and said it's on the house I followed her steps with her kind gesture I said no worries , it's on me sir. I paid for his coffee as she had paid for mine And I sat with the man as he began to dine. Something so insignificant to others and so small But such a huge impact on me, my heart, and all. I continue on to this day To find ones that need help and I pay Something so small, yet so strong Maybe there's enough kind to outdo the wrong A simple little coffee shop And the woman with the purple top One morning changed it all A huge impact from something so small.
