Chicken Lips

If I could seal an iron-on patch over my heart... If I could mend my mind with a needle and thread.... Then I think...I like the holes, fray, and scraggly strings. I like them just fine... I can wear them with pride. The little things pour in. A baby's one tooth grin, and a little boy's kangaroo hop. Chats on the porch about being friends and opossums! These gifts fill the holes. If I patched up my heart....I'd be void.


TIME:
Put aside the work and the $, put aside the hurry hurry, put aside the must accomplish,...and look into someone else's eyes. Open your mouth to say hello to a stranger, give a wink to a child, appreciate someone's laugh or freckles. A lift in the spirit! Lend a kind word...Do a nice thing...give a small gift...Kindness matters...
