A simple random act of kindness
Can go a long, long way ...
It was just the other day
A woman kissed me on the cheek.
She had totally caught me
By surprise.
Who would kiss this freak.
But then the tears
Began to flow.
My knees, they felt so weak.
I had almost forgotten that sensation.
What that even felt like.
“Bless you, for that holy kiss”
Was all that I could utter.
She smiled.
And behind my wet face
I smiled back
For it had been years and years
Since I felt like that.
Now reminiscing in my thoughts
I can only think ...
Thank you, thank you for that.
For in that single moment,
That simple spontaneity of sprite
You restored my faith
Gave me new hope
And most certainly,
Saved my life.
Which is why I just had to share ...
That a simple random act of kindness
Really can go a long, long way.
