In gratitude, I write.
For you have given me gladness.
Your small act of kindness, has made my heart feel light.
You, who opened the door for me, when my hands were full.
You, who gave me a seat, when you noticed I looked faint.
I felt I might soon fall, it's true.
I just wanted to write this note, in gratitude to you.
Thanks for smiling into my eyes, when you saw the frown on my face.
Thanks for lending me a hand, when you noticed I was so busy.
Thanks for holding me, when you saw the tear fall from my eye.
You lifted my spirits with your humor, when you heard me sigh.
Thanks...one million thanks to all of you, for what you've done.
A simple act of kindness, doesn't take long.
It makes each heart happy, and gives us a cheerful song.
Together, we can brighten this world of gray.
Let's make a pact to show kindness, to everyone we meet.
I offer you my heartfelt thanks, for the kindness you've shown me.
