A random act of kindness
Imagine a better life a better world
one we can all be proud of
A pipe dream,Perhaps
But what if?We gave
A random act of kindness
to just one person Imagine!
Lives changed Love is in the air
forgiveness everywhere
Peace in every heart It ‘s plausible.
Where do we start?
A friend,A neighbor, The homeless
People don’t bother to see them.
Driving I saw a man sitting on the ground
Holding a sign with three letters on it VET
A small dulcet voice said, “help him”
as I passed him by Do I turn around?
That would require 10 minutes
on the freeway out of my way.
I reasoned, On the way back,I bought
lunch and a cold bottled water excited
I hoped The man would still be there
But Scary Thoughts creeped in what if?
When I roll down the window to let the outside in, something bad happens
it’s a Quandary I look like easy prey
Friend or Foe,In Today’s climate, it’s dangerous,On the side of the road, by a freeway offramp I honked my horn.
Heart pounding I unrolled the window
I asked “What Branch of military Did you serve? “Army first battalion infantry
He snapped to, pop tall, and smiled
He had one tooth a thin ***** body,
I saw A HERO,with respect and dignity. I thanked him for serving our country. I
Apologized for my meager attempt to make it OK. He asked,” I saw you before what made you come back? I heard a beautiful dulcet voice I said God told me to help you
He studied me for a moment Then grinned
God bless you, he said, as he walked away
I wondered Who was helping who. Do onto others, as you would have them do unto you. That man bled in battle to defend us
A random act of kindness will feed your soul Don’t let the right hand know
what your left hand is doing
Offer generosity in silence of others
Don’t help somebody and boast about
how good you are
Your rewards are not of this world
You may not think it matters to the person you’re helping But what if it does?
“What would Jesus do? “ WWJD
