Reflection: This was an inspirational/hope-themed poem that I wrote back in December of 2013 in reflection of how just the slightest warmth, smile, 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.
