soothe
the crying baby with an
extra
hug. pick up that good
book
you’ve been meaning
to
read.
call
the friend you haven’t
spoken
to in years.
pull
an extra blanket down
from
the closet. it’s going to be
a
long cold winter.
send
the money you got for
your
birthday to the charity
in
need. good deeds need to
be
done.
you
have become the chosen one,
the
doer who gets things done.
no
time to waste, my friend.
don’t
fritter the goodness of
your
nature away.
there
is still some comfort
left
in that moth-eaten blanket.
a
kindness is the worthiness
which
warms the naked.
and
remember, every day a
new
year begins.
