More than just a gift 
or a flight of whimsy,
Kindness is a feeling 
that can be shared 
and carried on.

We live in an inter- 
dependent world 
and kindness is powerful medicine.
 
a heartfelt-message 
without request or reciprocation
makes a hard day just a bit more bearable.

a smile forms across my face.
I feel a little lighter 
as I hold that pencil-scrawled note 
from your heart to mine.
