Random Acts of Kindness: An Excerpt

The Domino Effect of Kindness

By R. H. Ali

If people were a little kinder

And hearts a little softer,

Maybe this world would be a little better

For the generations coming a little after.

Living in the hustle and bustle

With no time to hear the leaves rustle,

Everyone is for themselves in this earthly world

Which we will all eventually leave behind, if truth be told.

All the material things will fade into dust

But not the impact we made, or the things we made just;

It is our duty to be kind, honest and truthful,

And to have a pure heart and mind without being boastful.

When our eulogies are being said

Commendable acts of kindness is what should be read;

We will be remembered by what people see

So let’s try to make it a good, kind legacy.

Kindness of the heart and soul

Is what people should on their parchments scroll,

With random acts of kindness which becomes our legacies

Without any harm or worry about felonies.

A divine art it is, to be kind

Pure of the heart, soul and mind;

A smile, a laugh, a happy tear

Could be effected with the kindness you share.

Little acts of kindness go a long way

Like the last jug of juice on a hot day;

Kindness resonates within our bones

As sure as there are crevices on stones.

Beautifully draped like a bride for her wedding

Or as elegant as a fleece sheet of bedding,

Kindness has the power to embrace us all

Functioning just as the perfectly knitted shawl.

Kindness has the power to be of domino effect

With each kind act propelling another select;

One kind deed turns into two

And before you know it, it comes back to you!
