Notes About The Poem
Sprinkle A Little Kindness

Sprinkle a Little Kindness
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
