A kindness given
will never be forgotten
by someone in need

Today I have appreciation
For this life I live
Even when at times I am melancholy
There is still is so much to give
With suffering all around
It’s easy to turn the other way
Thankful for our own good fortune
Maybe we can help another day
Let me walk in your shoes
At least for today
I want to feel your anguish
Perhaps your pain I can defray
Kindness is a currency of gold
Costing nothing to share
Reaching out to the less fortunate
Relieving them of despair
Mirth is not only for the prosperous
Those suffering also need relief
Remember somewhere in your past
You too suffered with grief

Kindness costs nothing
Give without hesitation
It comes back to you
Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing ©
Famous or Infamous?
Famous or infamous
Which is better
Do you want to be revered
And live by the letter
Or do you want to be remembered
For some outrageous act
Shocking the world
That you want to attack
Craving attention
Loving the notoriety
If there is no goodness inside
Is this the best you have for society
Responsibility comes with
Any kind of fame
Are you up for it
Can you take the pain
Surely you must know that
Kindness always wins
Your behavior will be in the spotlight
Everyone will be looking for your sins
Be famously good
Not infamously cruel
The world needs to be inspired
Not someone changing the rules
Egregious behavior will
Never be accepted
So think carefully
Or you could be rejected
Famous is what you need my friend
If you want to be remembered
It’s the only way to be
Or else you will be censored
