Tamara Willems

here’s the thing…

It is
a simple thing, and a wonderful thing
an easy thing
and sometimes,  you might think
a difficult thing

often it’s a little thing
that feels
like a very large
thing

this thing called kindness
that should, I believe
indeed be
the most natural thing

in this great big world of infinite
disasters
it can feel like such
a negligible,  trivial
thing

in the hustle and bustle
of busy days
it can be a much overlooked
thing

in the flash of small screens
and grandiose self-promotion
it appears to have become
a somewhat
unnecessary thing

but to us as humans
in a world, as one
it is a very,
very
important
thing

it is the thing that forms the best part of me
that sustains me
and hopefully
that you will always
find
in me

it is the very thing we seek
to make life
bearable
and
it is always the thing
we should be open to
receiving

it is indeed
the worthiest thing

‘Hope is the thing with feathers’ , says Emily Dickinson
but to my thinking
it is kindness

kindness is the thing
for in it’s grace,
we
are all able to find
our own
wings ♥
