Getting High
Lets get high.... really!No no no, not that way, silly
I don't need drugs and alcohol
To get "wired"
In fact, I've found a more powerful way
To "enlighten" myself
It's not really a drug, more of a drink
I guess
It's called the "milk of human kindness"
Now hold on a minute
Before you all run away
Hear me out
The other day
I watched a young couple
Help an elderly lady
Who had locked her keys in her car
They must have worked
Twenty minutes or more
Before finally getting the door open
The elderly lady being grateful
Offered them money
To which they declined
They only wanted to help her
To watch something like that
To me was so rewarding
God it... it moved me to tears
How many of us are willing
To stand up for what we believe
And how we want the world to be
I think back on the times
That I have been helped
Or had the privilege to help
A total stranger
There is no drug on this planet
More powerful
Than an act of simple kindness
Don't believe me
Try it some time
I dare you
