A Simple Random Act of Kindness

A simple random act of kindness 
Can go a long, long way ... 

It was just the other day 
A woman kissed me on the cheek. 
She had totally caught me 
By surprise. 
Who would kiss this freak. 
But then the tears 
Began to flow. 
My knees, they felt so weak. 
I had almost forgotten     that sensation. 
What that even felt like. 
“Bless you, for that holy kiss” 
Was all that I could utter. 
She smiled. 
And behind my wet face 
I smiled back 
For it had been years and years 
Since I felt like that. 

Now reminiscing in my thoughts 
I can only think ... 
Thank you, thank you for that. 
For in that single moment, 
That simple spontaneity of sprite 
You restored my faith 
Gave me new hope 
And most certainly,  
Saved my life. 

Which is why I just had to share ... 

That a simple random act of kindness 
Really can go a long, long way.
