I had a special teacher once
Who truly believed in me In a time when no one else did And I remembered her for eternity Even though she probably never knew I’m not sure we always realize How big of an influence we can be In even the smallest ways Like the impact of a smile upon your face We can say a word or two to someone And it may last a lifetime We can pull someone off a bridge And never even know it to be We learn one thing and share it And that person we share it with Passes the wisdom on Saving a life we don’t even see And it can all be so easy if we let it It’s not some grand act or big gestures It’s simple little moments Like looking into the eyes of a stranger Or holding the door for someone Saying please and thanks Greeting a person in passing It’s simple acts of kindness That don’t have to cost a dime It’s being polite and nice It’s making allowances for faults Because we know that no one is perfect And maybe the person who made a mistake Had a really rough day It truly is the little things over and over That yield the biggest most beautiful results In so many possible ways The butterfly affect… The domino effect… The compound effect… We learn all about these as theories Now can we live in a way to positively shift realities? ————— 3 bonus 4 liners ———— BE KIND - it doesn’t cost a dime Try it sometime You might find You like being kind Be the change - you wish to see I can’t change you - I can only change me So if the world you desire to change Look within - that’s where to begin Nature is perfectly imperfect Just like me and you Let’s stop trying to be what we aren’t And live authentically #chooselove💕
