Deb M Poet Rhyme

-I Wish I Could

I wish l could bottle kindness and cuddles
In little coloured bottles happy and bright
To produce and share in abundance
This would be my plight

I would give to the lost and lonely
To the addicted, sad, afraid
To the sick, vulnerable, uncertain
Spread it world wide ….my crusade

I would give it to the selfish, cruel and mean
So they could experience being kind
Feel the joy and see the difference it can make
Perhaps, and “only perhaps” it could help sway their minds
 
Most importantly l would  give to the kind ones
The unselfish who care and constantly give
Kindness  being innate to them
Worthy , deserving…. as kindness they live

Humans need and gain from acts of kindness
Whether big , small or seemingly not much
Along with a caring heartfelt cuddle 
The closeness and comfort from human touch

I know bottles of kindness and cuddles
Will not bring major change or world peace
Though step by step and little by little
Positive changes will increase
