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

Hello my lovely! This is so touching dear, sweet friend from your loving, poetic heart. You are such a ray of sunshine and love, light, wisdom, radiates from you. Such an inspiring poem to read and reflect upon for the start of a new year. I especially love the line,’ humans need and gain from acts of kindness’. How true! I agree with Tom - if only there were more lovely Deb’s in the world.

A very evocative piece, Deb. All changes, I believe, start with a first step. Maybe your idea will catch on. I know I could use a colorful bottle of cuddles.

You under value your invention, Deb. I reckon, if you got a bottle of that stuff to all those people, we’d see Putin waltzing with Zelenskyy. Lovely poem, Deb. Very much enjoyed. Terry
