what if, we just smiled at people who looked different
what if we listened to what the old haave to say
what if we taught children to wonder at small miracles
what if we cried out for peace
what if we hugged a person less fortunate
what if we made kindness our calling card
what if we stood up and listen to other's woes
what if we light small fires of hope
what if we stopped before saying something hurtful
what if we made it our mantra to do good things

what would happen if we take small steps in grace,
spoken for the better world and left and trail of small
kindnesses in our wake......

what if, one day we made some ones life better,
with no thought of acknowledgement or reward

what if one day some one did the same for us

there is much power in this quiet reflection
what if we take it on board,  seed it within our hearts
watch it grow and give fruit
