Poems by Joseph T. Renaldi : 21 / 355
A Few Small Things
I placed a coin into the hand
Of a blind man who appreciated it much,
It was just a small token - but oh, the joy
That lay in its metallic touch.
I spoke a few kind words,
The words were merely a small thing,
And yet, they roused a weary heart
To hope for the reward life will bring.
I escorted an old lady across the busy street,
A small, but thoughtful thing to do.
Remembering her smile and thankful words
Ignited happiness in me the whole day through.

these are few small things
but there's a whole lot more
thank you for this little reminder -
it's another one small thing after all.
good thoughts!

I love this..
. We British are SUCH an unemotional lot on the face of it but underneath...........................! ! !
However miserable I feel, I always try to smile at everyone! Usually thought people are SO shocked, they HAVE to smile back! ! !
