Moments

It was only a smile
but it brightened my day.
It was only a hug
but it made the tears go away.
It was only a moment
but you shared it with me.
Changing the world is easy, you see.

Kindness

Share a bit of loving kindness
as you go about your day.
Look at those who share life's journey
in a kind and gentle way.
When you want to treat another
in a way far less than kind,
take a moment and remember,
you can change your frame of mind.
If we stop and treat each other
as we would our dearest friend,
we could learn to share our kindness
in a circle that will never end.

The Moon

Enchanting moon up in the sky.
I see you as the night draws nigh. 
You shine your light for all to see.
I feel you are a friend to me.

Pages

The year begins.

Blank pages await.

How shall I fill them?

I write my own story.

Each day I am given a new page.

The book begins to take form.

Will the story be a worthy one?

I want to use my gifts wisely.

Each page is a fresh start.

I do not write in isolation.

The story and the day await.

They must be filled.
