Comment from BethShelby
This reminds me of the poem The Creed by Edgar Guest and it was also made into a song. You know her one, "Let me a little kinder to thre brother that is blinder,-think a little more of other and a little less of me. You poem offers great advice. I think we all wake up sometimes in a grumpy mood and find it hard to go the extra mile.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Charming and spontaneous, the best poetry! A smile means so much. We were passing a bus today and a young girl just looked over and smiled. She may have been taking the p... but it made me feel good. Trust me, we're all guilty of those less kind days but your lovely, flowing and rhymed little verse makes up for it! Take care Debbie

Comment from Begin Again
We never know when a simple smile or a hello might change someone's entire day from being all wrong. It doesn't cost us anything and can mean a lot to others.
Smiles, Carol

I used to work with a lady who made sure to say one kind thing to every person she dealt with each day. Sometimes it was the only nice thing they heard. Doesn't take a lit of effort to be a decent human being. Gretchen

I so agree, Gretchen. Have a great day!
Smiles, Carol

You're right we all have days that it's difficult to be kind. On my days like that, I tell my husband, "I'm having one of those days were I just shouldn't be around polite society." He just chuckles. Thank you for sharing this wonderfully written reminder with us.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Wise advice in your short poem Gretchen, going that extra mile for a stranger spreads the love. Some days are busy and we forget to be kind to others, I enjoyed the sentiments here, love Dolly x

Comment from Ric Myworld
I've often wondered how people like you who work with the public every day can manage to keep smiling and being nice after dealing with the same nasty individuals repeatedly. But I can see you turning your other cheek and nodding pleasantly. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a smart ass, Ric. I do try to be nice but there are those who get my razor tongue. Thanks so much. Gretchen

LOL. Well, I can understand getting your digs in with the most difficult ones.

You certainly see a good and kindly God. You are very fortunate in this, as exemplified by the words:
By offering a hand
You just might bring a smile
you are gently being led in the right direction. kay
