Random Acts of Kindness

What a curse was this blindness, Not a single vision of kindness, Till the day of their first meet, When he put shoes on her feet, Thought what a cruel world was this , Till he held her hand firmly in his, Walked along with close embrace, Could anyone see grace on her face? Holding her tender fingers and touching braille, The very start of their friendship or holy grail, Not an expression in her gazing eyes, Still he could read her mind very wise, Distant dream of being a bride, His intimacy was now her pride, Why would an eyed marry a blind, Was it love or he was just being kind ?

Maybe he was blind, blind with love, I always joke that I dont cry, but this, well this was just too sweet, so I confess to a tear!

I am sure it started out as being kind. From there we are left to wonder....Kindness heeds friendships which can lead to love...There are many degrees of love as well...excellent thought provoking piece...hugs Tim

Wow, This is very interesting! what a story, makes you think and ponder, It seems a deeper affection creates more than just a lusting love many come to know, the love of a caretaker to his care. Great luck in the contest sweetie.

Dear Dr. Upma, I think it was love. I had a blind friend when I was young and she appreciated every act of kindness. What a wonderful entry for Deb's contest. I can tell you know a lot about kindness, my friend. Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
