_________________________________

It is easy to be kind and it does not cost a thing. But, to someone it is everything and could make their day. You can extend your kindness to animals also. They appreciate kindness too. Just think about how God would treat people he met in his day. He is a good life teacher in my opinion. A simple smile to a homeless person on the street, some coins for their outstretched hand, perhaps buy them a coffee even a meal ...
I saw a man beg for some money on the street ... could be my brother
Saying please and thank you is not hard to do, thank the waitress or the server. Be kind and give them a tip. Thank the grocery cashier, what did that cost? Be courteous to sales clerks, they are just trying to make a living. When talking of someone only use kind words, remembering that God is listening. Don't be the bearer of bad news or tragic news or even harmful news. Instead bring light into the world with your words, let the sun shine through you like a wonderful glow ... just by being kind.
bring a little sun put it in your coat pocket ... sprinkle where needed _______________________ August 5, 2021 Poetry/Haibun/Sprinkle A Little Kindness Copyright Protected, ID 08-1378-992-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Kindness sponsor, Regina McIntosh, Judged 08/21/2021 Fifth Place
