One Single Impression - Kindness

The thoughts that haunt me worse than most are the kindnesses I thought of but did not do. However, sometimes I remember and thereby make a friend.

We did not get on
'til I found that dragon fruit
and gave it to you.

Surprise I said and
handed it over - a little thing,
but it meant a lot.

Awe, it warms my heart......I always try to do those little things just for the simple fact that I like to see people smile......
Nice writing, sian (as usual).

Oh, the random kindnesses that make us realize much we do is random. Lovely, both of them.

very exotic

generosity
paves the way … a simple thing
makes the difference.
