New Friends

I have found
the more kids I've seen,
few of them
are intentionally mean.

When I treat people 
kind and nice
they return the favor
more than twice.

Most folks are friendly
and show they care.
They help me out
and are more than fair.


    I first wrote the last line of this poem as: with knowledge to share. That felt too limiting--people share more than their knowledge.  I'm not finished with this poem.  It is still very rough, but I does capture the idea I had in mind when I started writing.
   Have you noticed on days  whenyou are happy and smile at other people, those folks smile back and are happy too?  Have you ever noticed if you do a good deed like open a door, or pick up trash in the lunch room, soon there are other people doing good deeds too.  I find the goodness I launch into the world comes back to me multiplied.  I feel good when I do good deeds and that goodness radiated and multiplies.  Take a moment to think about a good deed you can perform today.  Now, can you write your own poem about that?  Do have fun.  Have a happy day.
