Like The Snow Poem by Jim Yerman

Kindness has been compared to a snowfall
because it is gentle, soft and slow
and makes everything it covers more beautiful…
kind of like the snow.

A man on an airplane holds a crying child
a child he does't know
his kindness calms the moment…
kind of like the snow.

A boy ties the shoe of a policeman carrying our flag
so on the parade can go
it was a silent moment of kindness…
kind of like the snow.

A woman pays for a child's birthday cake…
in memory of a child that child will never know
there is an unspoken beauty in the moment…
kind of like the snow

An act of kindness, however small, is never wasted
or so the saying goes
because one act of kindness combines with others…
kind of like the snow.

And a myriad of kindnesses are combined
it gives your heart a thrill
because kindness packed together
is like a snowball…if you will…

to get that snowball rolling
all it takes is a little shove
and off it goes down the mountain
spreading kindness…
spreading love.

and wherever that kindness happens to roll
be it gentle, soft…or slow
it makes our world more beautiful…
kind of like the snow
