Random Acts Of Love

You never know where or when
They may come and strike you down
They could be lurking ‘round each corner
The most unlikely places might be found.

When you might least expect it
And from who knows what to do
And though some may not believe it
When it strikes, they’ll know it’s true.

Because those random acts of love
Don’t run rampant on the street
Though when it happens to you
You’ll find new feelings, so sweet.

It may come as a gentle touch
Or in a very special look
Maybe in love words spoken
Or some, written in a book.

It may have the smell of roses
Or the taste of vintage wine
And like a painter’s masterpiece
It will withstand the test of time.

In the simple act of giving it
You’ll get as much as they receive
And if you’re one of those doubters
Give it a try, then you’ll believe.

For, with those random acts of love
You will never fall from grace
And in the eye of the beholder
You will always have a special place.

I was drawn by the title and enticed by the words that followed.

Nicely done...there should be more of it!

Yo Abe,

This is well done, with good end rhymes.

You might be surprised at how many random acts of love you'll find on the street.
