Cards -- Lost or misplaced?
Cards; and a friend
The little old man had fumbling problems
Now again tonight at the register
He couldn't seem to get his credit card
Opened every pocket in his billfold
It seemed to him a millennium passed
Actually only a couple minutes
and then I popped in with help on my mind
I said to him, "Sir, hope it isn't lost"
He let me check and sure enough not there
"Would you please let me pay with mine, please, please"
Said this as I passed the card to the clerk
He rung it up, "that's called paying ahead"
"Thank you, thank you Sir" said the little man
"I've had that done for me, comes in handy,"
Sometimes you gotta accept little helps
And that little man, that was me one day

aww a sweet act of kindness makes the world the world go round
Accepting 'little helps' is also a kindness from the recipient to the giver. And indeed, we all may be in that position one day. It's good to give help when we can and accept it when we need it.
Aww, this is so sweet.
much💛love
I love random acts of kindness ... they add spice to our lives. I actually performed one today! Had an unused PC Monitor, keyboard and mouse I no longer needed. Listed it on Facebook Marketplace and quickly had a response. She was unable to pick it up promptly, so I drove to her house cross town. With money in hand, she began to give it to me ... I simply said "indulge an 80-year old Lady today, it's my gift." So grateful was she and simply said 'I will pay this forward." And I took my leave.
I've seen this exact thing happen more than once ... the kindness of strangers that gives hope.
My dearest Jim, this is beautiful. I want a world in which this sort of act is still appreciated, but not rare. Thank you for sharing.
