Poem

Kindness is a gift we get from heaven 
Reaches us through humans 
Or through things around us 
Created by souls on earth with God’s grace. 

While on a study adventure 
One such act of kindness  
Touched the deep niche of my heart 
When around Lyderhorn, a sleepy village 
Lodged on the banks of Norwegian Loddefjord 
I was on a field work looking at the Caledonian rocks. 

There a gracious lady named Julia Aasen 
Rented me a room with a kitchen 
For she needed money, her husband 
A fisherman, had died a year ago. 

My work was going on well until one rainy day 
While crossing a mossy rock ledge 
I lost balance and slipped a good ten feet. 
My backpack disappeared in a creek
An arm of the deep blue fjord below. 
I lost my wallet, money and cards, 
And with them my poise. 

I couldn’t pay the weekly rent 
nor could I buy the provisions. 
Finding me, a stranger, in dire need of help 
Julia said I needn’t pay the room rent for a week 
And be her non-paying guest, give her company 
Although I knew how badly she needed the money. 
Supported by her hospitality I could finish my work on time 
And return to Bergen on a bus ticket she purchased for me. 

Julia no longer lives in the hamlet by the fjord 
But wherever she is now I know it can’t be but heaven 
For she made me realize random kindness doesn’t come 
From a random person. 
It flows from a special soul 
Where an angel lives.
