I am proud to be an Eagle Scout so I thought I’d write a poem for each of the 12 “ A Scout is…..” The Sixth is Kind.
A little act of kindness can so meaningfully be
Lift my spirits when a stranger sees my disability
And with a smile and sweet request asks if I need some aid
I say sure and slip into the chair that she has wheeled my way
I could have walked those twenty yards with walker in my grip
Yet it made both I and she so pleased to share the little trip
For to me the twenty seemed a hundred while to her a brief aside
And smiling made the journey sweet to give me such a ride
May she be blessed in giving as I was blessed for sure
And may we both remember this when next we do endure
Or have an opportunity to help another’s plight
And add a bit of tenderness by doing what seems right
