Giving and Connecting with Kind Words


Earlier today I sent the following text to a friend:

'I just wanna say, what a kind, talented, big-hearted, generous man you are. You enrich us with your presence!'

A few words, a kind gesture... creating kindness just takes a little shift in our mind-set away from day-to-day trudgery towards generosity and gratitude. I hope you feel inspired to share some kind words with folk.

Katrina: an Educator

 


Katrina: an Educator

 

Give a child

their wide-eyed vision

Give a child

the space to explore

Give a child

some hard-wrought wisdom

Give to a child

then give some more

 

Give a child

that sparkling smile

Give a child

the space to grow

Give a child

your Love of learning

Give to a child

seeds you sow

 

Thank you Katrina

for being beautiful

in our midst


Postscript: the author of this poem is a member of 'Hoodies for Happiness' who worked with Katrina many years ago. He recently led a relaxed wander around Wymondham Cemetery where Katrina's grave is and, having shared some lovely memories of her, left this poem inspired by her next to her gravestone. 

PS Katrina often wore purple clothes... hence the colour of this font.
