As I sit and eat,
a meal complete,
the television blares bad news.
The starvation rate is out of control,
many people are nutritionally abused.
A starving child, a haunting thought,
now sour is the taste, of the food I’ve bought.
How is this possible? What can I do?
To help these children, even one or two.
Through acts of kindness, there’s plenty I can do!

Lol! I will be good if you will too! π By the way Levi, the Airforce Thunderbirds will be performing an airshow here this weekend. I heard them flying overhead earlier this evening doing some practice maneuvers. I think I may have told you when you had posted some pics of some fighter planes a while back, I simply love these planes and the wonderful things they can do!

I “try” to be good. Lol. Yes, you have mentioned them I think when we were in San Diego at Mirimar. They are really neat to watch. Hope you’re doing good. π

Yes, they are neat to watch…amazing in fact. The Navy Blue Angels are my absolute favorites. I am doing okay and thanks for the well wishes. Being feeling a little under the weather but I refuse to let it get me down.

Thank you Mihrank. I am extremely humbled. By the way, I loved your song “Playing Like a Breeze”. I had commented on it right after you posted it a while back. Not sure if you saw the comment or not but just wanted you to know that I think it’s a beautiful piece and thank you for sharing! π

That’s beautiful–and very true. We walk by people every day not really looking, not really seeing the pain they’re trying so hard to hide. One act of kindness can restore hope…can restore faith. One act of kindness can make all the difference. Keep the poems coming!
