Random Acts of Kindness

A mother struggling through daily burdens Raises her son to be studious and intelligent Without any funds for his higher education When strangers raise enough to pay his tuition. When a boy in poverty becomes an orphan And sorrow triumphs with reckless abandon Evaporating all options with nowhere to turn, Adoptive-parents take him to a loving home. A war-zone stricken with death and destruction Neglects its injured in merciless environment Till esteemed doctors arrive risking own lives To care for wounded, volunteering their time. When a natural disaster ravages entire island And millions are left without food and water, A volunteer chef sets up a make-shift kitchen Feeding millions on the strength of his passion. Random acts arising from selfless ebullience Shine a guiding light of heavenly compassion Delivering against odds with gallant resilience Exemplifying valiance of strangers in action. March 2, 2018
