| 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.
