Random Acts of Kindness

A  Random Act Of Kindness

A little old nun all dressed in black
A habit on her head and chest
Contrasted in white with her silver cane
Doubtful she could cross the street

A little boy sat on the curb
Playing with his spinning top
His hair a shiny yellow mane
A tee shirt and pair of shorts

He saw this figure very old
Dressed dramatically in black
A  brandished sword was in her hand
A weapon that she did not hide

He stared at her with so much awe
He walked to her and took her hand
And checked the traffic as they walked
Then crossed her on the other side

She smiled at him and then she said
Thank you, little lad, you are very kind
You’re welcome lady, he said with pride
Any friend of Zorro is a friend of mine

Aww a absolutely charming Ralph, he sounds a delightful child much nicer than the brat who rammed me in the back of the legs with her brothers empty pushchair and then didn't apologise :-( hugs Jan xx
