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…
🙂
My bunch has Dahlias and Marigolds 😀
Buying flowers for oneself or others is always a treat! Dahlias and Marigolds, a special treat!?
Helping out a local farm stand holder. I’ve been getting a small bouquet once a week for most of the summer. 😀
What a nice gesture, Jules, and the small bouquet is a lovely reward.
The world would be a better and happier place if your words were read and taken to heart.
So true, Patricia!
