Kindness
Doesn’t it sometimes
Happen that way?
Kindness
And you meant to say thanks
But life gets so busy
And something else
Outranks
And days go by,
Then weeks, maybe years?
And what was done for you
Nobody hears
It meant the world at the time
You should have expressed
How much it meant
And how you were blessed
Next time remember
How it would feel
If you had told them
It meant a great deal!!

Random Acts Of Kindness..
Iv'e always loved that phrase..more importantly the meaning behind it..
Love the line 'It mean't the world at the time' so true..just that small respectful thankyou.. can go along way!
Loved this Linda and 'Thankyou' for posting it!
DEbs :.)
me too Debs
I have always loved this line, and i try hard to remember to do a random act every once in awhile.... without anyone ever knowing it was me.
And THANK YOU Debs, for your nice comments!
It means alot to me to hear from you guys!
Linda

You are welcome
Thank you also repenter86!
Your comments are always appreciated!
Linda
very well written, linda
I love the lines "Outranks..Maybe years?" I can identify with that so well. There always seems to be something else to do, and so often the most important things don't get done!
Thanks for another great poem, linda.
joyce
Yes Joyce
I can think of dozens of times when i should have said thank you in the past or had written a note.....and I let it slide.
wish I hadn't...
i think i will hang this poem up, so i wont forget from now on...
OH, I almost forgot....Thank you Joyce for your nice words! :0)
