Little Kindnesses
My life overflows with little kindnesses
Showered upon me
Like glittering stardust
From midnight skies:
A tender text
A caring call
Meal lovingly prepared
To feed the inner child:
Letters stuffed to bursting
With concerned caresses;
Bear-hugged cards
Covered in healing kisses:
Helping hands soothing
Over persistent perplexities;
Willing time-travailed
Tools repairing reams of
Roaming ravaging;
Gentle plasters healing
Bruised beatings of life:
Candles light the darkness
Weaving welcoming lights;
Lilting voices rise in
Greeting; transforming
House to loving home:

Nice and thank you creative reader.
You have a way of finding lots of things to please you. That must be nice. I suspect you just have a great gift of focus. Focusing on the good and paying little attention to those things that fit another category.
Good onya.
Thank you, LoneRogue. I have always been a positive person and yes, you are correct, I do focus on the little things.
When you fell out of the apple tree.
And I caught you in the arms of me.
I knelled on my good knee,
And asked you to marry me,
It was almost that way with my first wife of 55 years. I was at the USO High School dance for Air Force men going through basic training and was a wall flower as did not dance. Most host’s friend was a great dancer and when she was tired she came over and talked to me. After 20 minutes she said my parents are going to pick me up in a few minutes, will you go home with me and meet my folks? We were engaged in 3 months and married in 6 when she graduated from high school.
I might add we had our own dance and had 6 children,
You are so positive and understanding of every day problems.
Lovely words and some beautiful memory’s. thank you xx.
