A kind word on a tough day
A soft touch on the top of your hand
A gentle crease in the corner of the eyes of a stranger
A squatting down to pick the earthworm off the sidewalk
And place it into the cool grass of the yard
A genuine chuckle at a friend’s joke
A text message just because
A closing of the laptop to walk outside with no reason at all
A waving of someone else through the four-way stop
An allowing of grace
A moment of worthiness
Alive and stirring
Inside the reality of this
Achingly beautiful life
Even when we’re left
With just the ache
