Offer

We have all heard the old adage:

Be nice to strangers.

They may be fighting battles

you know nothing about.

Now add this part

and I am over the moon infatuated ...

Be kind.

Every one of us is healing

from something.

Practice the pause.

We are not all the same,

nor would we want to be.

Offer these things:

comfort and compassion,

width and wisdom,

understanding and opportunity,

grace and gratitude,

kindness and love.
