When something deep within you

gives a nudge

to do some kindly thing,

obey it.

When it suggests you smile

at a stranger, or utter some

appreciative word,

say it.

When the impulse is for good,

don’t question: “Will I rue it?”

It may be only you

are there to hear and heed,

to be Love’s instrument,

so do it.

How often, when we felt

discouraged and alone,

our faith at lowest ebb,

some word, some token

of reassurance came,

and through another’s voice

or kindly deed we felt –

oh, more than felt, we knew

that God had spoken!
