RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Roger A. Davis

Who are those that do these kinds of deeds?
Are they people just meeting random needs?
I think their hearts have a specialness
Giving because they in kind have been blessed

Fellow sojourners who have been helped along
Wanting others to sing a "Thank God" song
Knowing all we have is a trust
To share is only just

Not like a routine church tithe
Spontaneity that is fresh and alive
Not needing others to sing their praises
Even "thank yous" are unneeded phrases

The media reports a vast amount of news
Most paint life in dark hues
The random giver is not a front pager
Seldom ever mentioned, I wager

Let’s again ask the question “Why”
Whatever the various reasons
Bottom line is, they try
To Chritmasize all four seasons

Some recipients doubt their intent
It would be naïve not to wonder
A clear blue sky present
I believe the giver likes their ponder

I know, often being on the receiving end
It’s easier being the giver, friend
So, no matter what comes your way
Look out for who you can help today
