A Poem

A doctor stood up,

To let a mother sit,

And cradle her baby.

-

A mother gave money,

To a beggar by the shops,

Flashing them a smile.

-

A beggar gave change,

Surprising a student,

Also spreading kindness.

-

A student took a visit,

To surprise a granny,

Taking her for lunch.

-

A granny gave Roses,

To a huffing binman,

Hurrying for Christmas.

-

A binman shared the gift,

With a child,

Giddy and jumping.

-

A child gave a hug,

To a teacher,

Quietly battling thoughts.

-

A teacher waved,

A tired driver pass,

During rush hour.

-

A driver planted a kiss,

On a blushing doctor,

Home from the commute.

- - -
