let kindness never be forgotten
though sullen grayness defines, the
folds of time blur memories
of once hapless spirits
as they raise their cups
to graciousness,
goodwill and
heartfelt
cheer

Reminds me of the kindness of doing nice things for oneself, like getting flowers from the local farm stand…

Helping out a local farm stand holder. I’ve been getting a small bouquet once a week for most of the summer. 😀
