I was driving my scooter,
when I bumped into him,
In our little town.
I shouted: "Hello Rob, how are you?"
I pulled his head down
and kissed him.

He had to stop working
due to back problems.
It had been hard on him, because
nursing was his life,
I know, for he took care of me too.
He felt so useless now.

Tonight he called me on the phone
"I want to thank you for
saying hello to me so nicely
and for kissing me there in open street".

It had touched him deeply.
"Dear lad", I said,
"I'm kissing so few men these days".

But I thought: "How little it takes,
to make someone happy".

Definitely, the little touches
are the ones that hit home most...

Thank you, Muys!

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, that is sooooo sweet, dearest friend, I try and do all I can to make people happy everyday and just by giving them a hug or helping someone who feels sad, I always feel happy too when they feel better! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Muys, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This was so sweet and touching, Muys...but it needed the Kleenex warning, because now I'm sniffling and teary eyed.
Indeed...how little it does take...

So you've taken up kissing men on the street now, have you????

I know, it takes only a kiss sometimes...
You have a big heart Mommy Muys

Ah Muys, we should all stop and kiss men on the street...
I mean the ones we know...not strangers...
I enjoyed this one...thank you.

Ahh Muys, this is so sweet. How true, it really does take very little to bring sunshine into someone’s life.

"Dear lad", I said,
"I'm kissing so few men these days".

Well, get out there and kiss a few more!!!

Sweetheart!!! I couldn't agree with you more.  People love it when you pay some attention to them and kindness goes a lot further than cruelty and indifference.  If we would all treat one person kindly each day, We would find ourselves the infected ones, for we benefit ourselves when we do, the feeling well up and overflow, a side effect is that the recipient of that kindness is renewed also to go and do the same. John Lennon's song "Imagine" says it all. And I love hearing your personal relating of such a time. Beautiful!!!

Wishing you Love, Light and Peace,

Sherry

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
