An Unopened Book
Every Now and Then
Every now and then, something great happens.
Times like these, these moments are unexpected.
Seeing kindness, given to the homeless man.
The mentally challenged kid that everyone has accepted.
The young girl, whose friends build her up.
Raise her self esteem, give her hope, show love.
The oh so troubled teen whose life is so tough.
The person who gave him a chance to rise above.
The pregnant girl, whose parents stand right beside her.
Hold her hand let her know its going to be okay.
Teach her how to be a great mother to the child.
They give her a chance for a brighter day.
The old man walking across the street.
No one honks their horn, someone grabs his hand and leads.
A person who stops and helps someone to their feet.
To see a stalled car on the side of the road.
And see a young man pull over to offer assistance.
I ask those people never let that feeling go.
You are what is great about people.
You are the hope that kindness has not faded.
Examples of what love truly is, you show it.
for that a thank you, you never even hesitated.
Every now and then, something great happens.
