a touch of kindness

you reached out to me

and opened your life

you knew I was struggling

so you answered my pain

with kindness

thank you

it means the world to me

sets me free

from a prison in my mind

I am working hard to leave behind

sick of showing home movies

of a difficult past

when the truth is

the present could be

so easily full

of love joy and possibility

and just this simple

touch of kindness

reminds me

of the truth

that the living proof of love

exists in this

just a simple

touch of kindness
