VIGILANCE

You are a kind soul
Bringing happiness to others
Through singular acts of goodness

No intrusion – just acknowledgment
Your perception of difficult condition
and awareness of accomplishment
is truly noteworthy

Received gifts of words
Compiled and layered
A collage of thoughts
Is humbling

The recipient thinks
His suffering and joy
Are not worthy of such
elegance and thoughtfulness

You have moved on
This deed finished
The next started and more,
many more to go

Birthdays, anniversaries
And the like keep coming
These are a breeze for you

Your real talent shows up
When you serve the undiscovered

The down and out
Those who struggle constantly
and need uplifting

Others only notice
You act
You act on your awareness
Your vigilance
