When You Give You Get
I never expected
To receive such a gift,
I was only extending a hand
But you never know where
Your rewards will come from,
Or when they’ll show up at your door.
I gave just a little,
Really not much
It seemed kind of natural and fun.
What came back was a flood,
Of emotion and passion
A ten fold return on a small act of kindness.
But it wasn’t expected
And it wasn’t as thought
Because what was returned,
I had owned all along.
I found something inside me that gives me great pride
A soulful spirit that wants to explore.
So I’m thinking and writing a lot of great thoughts
And sharing and walking on air.
For this small act of kindness has given to me
An outlook on life that is rare.
