April, I really appreciated how this frames care as something often planted long before its return is visible. The line about presence being what helps someone stay carries real tenderness, because steady presence can become its own form of mercy in heavy seasons. What stayed with me most is the reminder that quiet acts of compassion can travel further than we realize, often returning through shared humanity when life turns gray. Thank you for offering something so gentle, hopeful, and deeply kind.
In ways we do not see, they are there nonetheless as tiny lights along the path. They point the way others may walk in only they open their eyes.
Yes so very true! 💗
I enjoyed this poem. In fact, I am publishing a piece about kindness tomorrow, and this was great.
