Don't Blink

 

We wouldn’t recognize them

to save our soul

they prefer to remain anonymous

hiding behind the banter

of every day;

till out of the blue,

in a simple act of grace,

their better angel appears.

No warning. No fanfare.

Blink, and you've missed it.

One. Random. Act. Of. Kindness.

making someone’s day—

hearing a need, following through,

bringing it to bear...

 

No visible wings, and certainly no halo

yet, for an instant,

pretty sure they were there...

 

Blink, and you'll miss 'em....
