Thoughtful ornament made for me, sent unexpectedly last year
by Ella Wilson (see link on her name in poem)

Small kindness~

an unforeseen deed

filled with thoughtfulness

unexpectedly received

 

expressed, in times of need;

whether we know it or not,

planting a reciprocal seed

in a person's sweet spot.

 

Take for instance

the cardinal above,

made for me, the essence

of Ella's talent and pure love.

 

Another time, a dear friend,

Linda (who lives in Germany),

sent me fine chocolates (a sin)

to share with family.

 

A simple inquiry

of how I really feel,

a smile or a hug for me~

all reminders kindness heals.
