Moments
It was only a smile

but it brightened my day.
It was only a hug
but it made the tears go away.
It was only a moment
but you shared it with me.
Changing the world is easy, you see.
~ Lisa McIntosh

Kindness
Share a bit of loving kindness

as you go about your day.
Look at those who share life’s journey
in a kind and gentle way.
When you want to treat another
in a way far less than kind,
take a moment and remember,
you can change your frame of mind.
If we stop and treat each other
as we would our dearest friend,
we could learn to share our kindness
in a circle that will never end.
~ Lisa McIntosh

Life
May the wonder of life
Never cease to amaze
May the joy in each moment
Give you reason to praise
May you always remember
How special you are
May you treasure the gift
We are given each day
May you stop now and then
To feel the wind in your hair
And watch the birds
As they float in the air
Remember to tell those you love
Just how precious they are
And when you look up at night
Wish on a star
~ Lisa McIntosh
