Random Acts of Kindness

This day I went in public
Through a parking lot,
Where I passed an angry man
His temper had been hot.

Though this had alarmed me
I continued on my way,
Thinking of the nasty words
The bad man had to say.

Suddenly felt weary
Miserable inside,
So I focused on my breathing 
Fastened up my stride.

When I turned a corner
From the filth and vile,
A gentleman appeared and
Past me with a smile!

Oh how they're special people
The angels in disguise,
Who lift my very spirit
They come with much surprise. 

As fast as they appear
They evacuate,
Though not before they do their thing
Leaving you feel great.

Captivating strangers
With their cheerful charm
Consider them a blessing
For never doing harm.

This day I was reminded
Good people are not gone,
As random acts of kindness 
Will always be passed on.
