Minor Miracles
Little acts of kindness aren't merely little acts:
they can be momentous like spiritual contracts.
Knell down to tie a shoe for an elderly man.
Help children cross the street by holding a small hand.
Share a warm, open smile cheering a lonely heart.
Words of encouragement could serve as a jump-start.
Offer strangers pennies for making even change.
Let people step ahead, their schedule rearrange.
Listen with attention to someone's tale of woe.
Give lost souls direction for places they should go.
Adopt pets from shelters permitting them to live.
Put aside old grudges and gracefully forgive.
Watch a neighbor's homestead when they must be away.
Allow novice players to win a game in play.
The minor miracle angel goodness presents.
Little acts of kindness are life changing events.
