RAK

RAK

by Lyn Marinello

It takes such little effort
to simply hold a door,

to offer up a compliment,

to do a little more.

It doesn't cost a single cent

to inexplicably be kind,

to help another human

is a joy for both, you'll find.

It doesn't take much time

to comment on a beautiful smile,

to really listen to a story,

to go the extra mile.

In these random acts of kindness,

we start an amazing wave,

bringing tiny ripples far and wide

to folks we didn't know we'd save.

You've no idea how vital

your simple actions are,

so miniscule to one

is momentous to another by far.
