Reflection: This was an inspirational/hope-themed poem that I wrote back in April of 2012 in reflection of how just the slightest warmth or kind gesture can put into motion positive forces that uplift, encourage, inspire, and create happier, brighter surroundings, and a happier, brighter life overall. Always remember that all you put into the lives of others, comes back into your own – and get into the practice of living in this fashion. This poem was written in reflection of a specific something I did for someone – who was anxious and highly stressed out about certain life events – so that I could put him at a peaceful ease. Often the love, warmth, peace, and kindness you offer to others become your own.
