Simply Kind Tuesdays - Poem


Doesn’t it sometimes
Happen that way?
Kindness
And you meant to say thanks
But life gets so busy
And something else
Outranks
And days go by,
Then weeks, maybe years?
And what was done for you
Nobody hears
It meant the world at the time
You should have expressed
How much it meant
And how you were blessed
Next time remember
How it would feel
If you had told them
It meant a great deal!!
