a patient, kind, simple smile
he shook my hand very gently
and he listened to me carefully
with a tilt to his head and a hand 0n his hip.
A beautiful acceptance without judgments
corners of his narrowed eyes shone empathy
and a slight frown spoke many unsaid words.
In a whispering tone he said, life is a journey
I am thankful for the kindness of this stranger
and I wonder what happened to the rest of us
how did we forget to be kind, gentle and loving?
