Ingredients of happiness (3)

 At the start of the day,

yes, every morning I pray 

to become aware and see

any simple opportunity 

to perform a random kind act.

 

Sometimes it is a simple thing

like a giving way to a man waiting

or a simple nice word to someone in need

a simple smile to a stranger I meet

but it always has a miraculous effect. 

 

Last week I was in a hurry on my way to work

but we never know where opportunity 'll lurk

I saw a skinny man dressed in absolute rags

looking for something of value in the trash

He hoped that he could find something worthwhile

I was quite late and it was almost nine

I thought I will help the man next time

But then I thought and changed my mind

A u-turn to act on the opportunity to be kind.

I gave him something that gave him a bright smile. 

 

I think he was happy and certainly I was too

A simple kind act is always worth to do  

Surely random kind acts are super important...
