It seems more people spend time worrying about
What’s going to happen then what is happening
Live in the here and now

What ever will happen in the end is already decided
We can not change that but we can change
how we are living now

It’s easy to turn your back on the problems of the world
and say it’s not my concern
But if not you, then who?
If not us then what
If not now then when?

We can all make changes in our own lives
Each small act of kindness sends out a ripple
in a mighty sea
These acts can travel over great distances
Affecting many lives unknown to us now

A kind act passes on
touching many sprits
That can result in good deeds
We can not even imagine

Live for the moment
Be kind to one another
You never know what might
just happen in return

Welcome to Passions In Poetry!

I enjoyed reading your poem. It is true that kindness spreads like the ripple on a pond, so let's be kind, and make the world a better place!

I good philosophy indeed - Welcome to Passions in Poetry, Kilgore...

Waft every crest upon your destined sea
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Welcome :-)  I loved this poem, and if it is any indication of your writing, I will be looking to read more of you.  I like when people just write what they feel...
