Array ( [sid] => 150194 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Heart Warming [time] => 2009-05-26 23:41:54 [hometext] => [bodytext] => All is not doom and gloom
No matter what the papers say;
Acts of love and kindness shine
Like shafts of sunlight amid the grey.

“Every cloud has a silver lining”
Is an oft repeated, positive phrase
That keeps us hopeful and enduring
In harsh and snowy winter days.

I watched and pondered as a little sparrow
Foraged among dead leaves for a meal,
He busied himself to find a morsel of bread
That no bully starling did steal.

And when he succeeded in his quest
A widow from her window did smile
To see him enjoy his little treat,
Yes, it warmed her heart for a while.

I also saw, just the other day
A child in a pram, purple with rage
Squealing like a little mouse
Trapped inside a cruel steel cage.

He couldn’t be pacified it seemed
Until a man knelt down, knee-high,
And gave him a red balloon –
Well, in an instant it dried his eye!

These were merely two occasions
Where kindness won victories,
And it would warm many more hearts
If T.V. reported events like these.

Heart Warming

All is not doom and gloom
No matter what the papers say;
Acts of love and kindness shine
Like shafts of sunlight amid the grey.

“Every cloud has a silver lining”
Is an oft repeated, positive phrase
That keeps us hopeful and enduring
In harsh and snowy winter days.

I watched and pondered as a little sparrow
Foraged among dead leaves for a meal,
He busied himself to find a morsel of bread
That no bully starling did steal.

And when he succeeded in his quest
A widow from her window did smile
To see him enjoy his little treat,
Yes, it warmed her heart for a while.

I also saw, just the other day
A child in a pram, purple with rage
Squealing like a little mouse
Trapped inside a cruel steel cage.

Until a man knelt down, knee-high,
And gave him a red balloon –
Well, in an instant it dried his eye!

These were merely two occasions
Where kindness won victories,
And it would warm many more hearts
If T.V. reported events like these.
