FRIDAY WRITINGS # 231 POETS AND STORY TELLERS UNITED

thank you
to the angel
a stranger a cabbie
who came to my aid yesterday
bless you
never had such help and support
you will stay in my life 
as a friend now
always

i think
of all the pleasure
i could have given you
and your family
in my previous life
sailing on  the harbour
lots of material treats

but now
all i can offer you
is my friendship
gratitude and words
you
have given me hope

  1. I am glad the kindness of a stranger filled your faith in humanity - and friendship, gratitude and words seem like very good things to gift back - Jae

  2. I sense your gratitude. A kind deed soothes like a balm. Sometimes it seems there is no goodness left in the world, and then we are pleasantly surprised.

  3. I believe people do feel and benefit from the 'good vibes' sent their way; your ongoing gratitude will be felt on some level, and improve this kind person's day, and life. Besides, someone who acts this way regularly will be getting LOTS of good vibes back! Glad you found help when needed, dear Rall.
