Someone
Was rude to me today
And I grinned,
Tenderly.
My heart does things
That my mind doesn’t always
Understand.
I laugh,
Heartily and without expectation
Because days are short
As are nights.
Kindness isn’t weakness.
For in my heartbeat
I find strength.
And even if I don’t live,
To see a century,
I want people to utter my name
And remember
That despite their coldness
I looked at them
And smiled…
