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

Sweet to the taste, pleasing to the ear generally agreeable

RAOK acronym for random act of kindness or ARK a random kindness . If you think about it, when God destroyed the Earth in Noah’s day, he used to random act of kindness for the animals, and those God deemed worthy.

How long do we get?
How many can we fit inside?
I reply like it's the first time
Gotta take pride

Have my ******* jokes
It makes them laugh
"Mind you're rowlocks" when you step inside lad's.
Watch out for the crocodiles, they escaped from the zoo.
Just over the side
If you need the loo.

Lookout for the terrapins
I can tell you think it's a joke
But it's true
Don't believe me?
I'll show a picture to you

Where did they come from?
During the winter, where do they go?
Never answer
"I don't know"

I've held many positions
From the bottom to the top
Some good
Some bad
They kept me a float
But never been happier
Helping people, inside a boat
Thanks to Cj

Don’t be cynical
              Dial down The rhetoric
           The world is watching
       Better class politician
          America still best Hope


Song inspired
another break in the wall part 2
by Pink Floyd

commentary
We don’t need to be at each other’s throats, fighting race, creed, color, woke politics
With all the threats coming to America, we need to hold fast stand strong together
more than ever we need unity.
And prayers
