L.O.S.T

You pass me on the street and our eyes meet briefly

You hold the door open for me as I enter behind you

I say thanks, but you have no idea that my mind is blank

In the elevator you crack a joke, i flash a smile

you have no idea that my heart is in denial

You ask me how my day was and I say fine

You have no idea that my brain and I are arguing to if I should cross the line

My happiness is gone as I walk in this world

The thoughts in my head have me wishing I was in a cold dark hole

Once you loose your soul there is no turning back

Everything you once dreamed of no longer has an impact

You don't want to love nor you want to have fun

Your days are so long the problems in your mind question if you should carry on

You smile so that's what people see on your face

they think that you are happy but deep down inside you feel like a worthless disgrace

Every the perfromance you put on for people is Emmy award winning

But you question yourself and wonder if you act is a just way for you to hold your internal sinnings

When you wake up from a night's sleep you wonder to yurself if this is the day your heart will be back or to it's old slef or will it still be skipping every other beat

You wonder if things that once made you happy to be alive will make a come back

You wonder if the little things in life that made you who you are will have you once again dreaming to the stars

You wonder if you'll feel less empty hearted

You wonder ot yourself who holds the match to start that fire

You're tired of running and loosing your breath

You want to hold tight to something that will once again help you enjoy the journey into life's amazing tracks

You want to feel that everyday can be better than the last

You wantto learn your lost soul feeling into a thing of your past.....

Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. ~Charles H. Spurgeon~

Kindness and compassion is something we rarely say in this time and age. Like most good things gifted by nature including gardens of greenery, beauty of the mountains, unpolluted flowing rivers with breathtakingly beautiful wild flowers and chirping cute birds, kindness has become almost extinct. It seems that with time humans memory has faded to the extent to which they have forgotten it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Even at times like this we do come across people who hold on to the belief that all the people we meet are significant and deserve care and respect equally.

I am delighted to say that I have met a fair share of people we should call humane. On my trip back from Addu, I took a cab to the airport. Since I didn’t know the fare was Mrf50 I had Mrf100 bills. It turned out that the driver did not have change as well. Upon arrival to the airport the driver went over to a young man t to see if he got change. The driver came back and gave me my Mrf100 bill. When I questioned him about the fare, he pointed to the smiling young man and said he wanted to pay my fare. I was very grateful, smiled politely and headed to the terminal.

Once in the terminal, I was immediately approached by a kind staff of immigration. He volunteered to carry my luggage through immigration to be monitored and again till I was done with check in with the airline. He said how could a tiny lady like me can handle such heavy luggage. But believe me I had one luggage bag containing clothes only, a tiny box with edible leaves and my super sized travelling bag.I said I could handle but upon his insistence I gave up and thanked him for the help. Once I was done with everything, I went over to a nearby café’ to get a drink and headed to the terminal. The kind man from immigration was the one who checked me through the gate to board the flight. He had one of the biggest genuine smiles I have seen.

Some people feel that one person or a small thing can’t make a difference. But believe me a small gesture as small as a kind smile can have a great positive boost to oneself as it could be the only sunshine he/she has had the whole day. And an act of kindness from a single person does make a difference.

What this world needs is a new kind of army - the army of the kind as said by Cleveland Amory.
