Happy New Year Everyone! from Jean

"Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty."

Random acts of kindness
sprinkle beams of dancing light
to chase the gray of cloudy days
or calm a stormy night.

Like flowers on a hillside
share their glory as a gift,
a caring moment glows
when there's a spirit we can lift.

Sincerity of thought
begins our path of good intent;
a gentle touch of love
can strengthen souls so worn and bent.

Perhaps a quiet deed's performed
and words remain unspoken
as helping hands repair the stairs
adversity has broken.

We share unknown perils
on this journey through the years;
our greatest act of kindness
is to wipe another's tears.

And often there's a gift returned -
the unexpected part:
our random acts of kindness
snuggle joy against our hearts!
