[Poem] It Couldn't Hurt

July 21, 2009

I found this in Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul. It's one of my favourites! Emphasis and notes (dotted underlines) were added by me. =)

Random Acts of Kindness—huh!
It couldn't hurt.

I told my husband I love him.
It couldn't hurt.

I packed a note in my son's lunch box telling him how special he is.
It couldn't hurt.

I opened the door for a lady in a wheelchair at Walgreens.
It couldn't hurt.

I left a box of cookies for the mailman.
It couldn't hurt.

I let someone go in front of me in the grocery line.
It didn't hurt.

I called my brother to tell him I miss him.
He misses me too!

I sent the Mayor a note saying what a good job he is doing.
It couldn't hurt.

I took flowers to the nursing home.
It couldn't hurt.

I cooked some chicken soup for a friend who is sick.
It couldn't hurt.

I played Candy Land with my daughter.
It was fun.

I thanked the person who bagged my groceries.
He beamed.

I gave my assistant the day off with pay.
It only hurt a little.

I played ball with my dog.
It felt good.

I invited a woman who doesn't drive to lunch and to a movie.
I enjoyed myself.

I got a massage for me.
It felt marvelous.

Random Acts of Kindness—hmmm, maybe I'll live this way all year.
It couldn't hurt.
