Try It

Looking back to a past of difference

Of times that flourished with compliments

Day to day a smile and a wave

Reminding others to do the same

An evergrowing act of kindness

Try it today

The passing of a gesture that opens doors

Viewing a struggling person and offering help 

Do not ignore the opportunity well spent

Giving a moment of time to pay back

An evergrowing act of kindness

Try it tonight

Try it tomorrow 

When the day is first fresh

Lighting up the morning in an instant

Offering assistance instead of being asked

Thoughts that should always come to pass

An evergrowing act of kindness

Try it 

To build a heart that is full of light

Each accomplishment gathering inside

Those checks and marks of deeds done

Spreading the positive vibes of love

Try it sometime

Yes I noticed you have grasped it and you have also come out of your cocoon ready to float like a butterfly... I wish you well on your journey and look forward to reading more great poems from your pen.. It holds a lot of power, some never get to grasp it..

when you help another it has a ripple affect.. that is the beauty of giving... So many people are unsatisfied with life, that is because they have no purpose, when you help others, you understand your purpose.. that is the beauty of humanity.. look deep inside, and find the beloved that resides inside you and reach out to the world.. Great write Kristina..

Thank you the Silent One for mentioning this beauty that I have already grasped a hold of when it comes to reaching within to seek without. I appreciate your comments must be honest each one has been of much insight. Hope you enjoy following more of my poetic journey towards my true self discovery that is evergrowing. :-p

Good morning and thank you for commenting. I very much agree that the world would be different and more friendly in all areas if there was more encouraging messages poetically like this. Which is why I am glad to be back expressing myself no matter what has held me back before. Have a great rest of your day. :-)
