Little acts of kindness

 Often we find ourselves stuck,

Often we find ourselves at cross-roads,

One thing can quickly lead to another,

Something you've said right now might be a trigger tomorrow,

What does this world need from us?

What do we need to give to back to our world?

Are you stuck as well?

Everyone's day might not have been the best,

If they asked you how was yours,

You can probably be more than kind to ask about how theirs went?

These little acts of kindness,

Might go a long way...


Often we wonder,

What might have gone wrong?

Are we doing the right thing even? 

Have we been doing the right thing so far?

Sharing, oversharing and I don't know a whole lot of communication? 

Maybe just communicating too much,

Are we going to be judged for it?

Does my world need to know so much?

Are you stuck as well?

Maybe someone just needs to vent out,

Maybe someone just needed to be heard,

If they were with you at your worst,

You can probably be more than kind to hear them out,

These little acts of kindness,

Might go a long way...


Some might argue,

These little acts of kindness is the same reason why,

You are probably taken for granted,

You are probably going to be taken for a ride,

Or probably you don't know where to draw the line,

Someone had rightly said,

Expectations lead to disappointments,

But maybe the world has a place for selfless people,

People appreciate and remember someone with a huge heart,

The world already has enough place for the "bad and worst"

This world needs the good,

This world needs the best without expectations,

You can probably be more than kind to be one of a kind,

I'm sure one day,

These little acts of kindness go a long way...
