A person's life should undergo constant sublimation;
that's the secret to fulfilment, in my estimation.
Refine yourself more each day by doing a special favor
that's unexpected, but appreciated with joy and savor.
Perform good deeds daily;
on someone confer a nice surprise.
Smile at a complete stranger to echo joy in smiling eyes.
Grasp the hand of your spouse
when next you stroll as pair;
such a small gesture will affirm you really care.
Forego a noontime nap to share playtime with your child;
although quickly forgotten, virtue is somewhere compiled.
Write a short note or email to someone you knew long ago;
watch the quick reply and gratitude
such thoughtfulness will show.
Open a door for someone of any age or social status
and you will secure a warm response
for that small service gratis.
Unexpected kindness is a quality transmittable;
its beneficiary just cannot be inhospitable.
You may care for others,
but do they get that tender message?
Love's one medicine that can be handled in a large dosage.
Express your love now, while you can,
before it becomes too late;
there will be none to give
when you proceed beyond heaven's gate.
