Random Acts of Kindness

Updated: Sep 20, 2024


Help an old lady across the street.

Give a child a toffee sweet.

On the bus, give up your seat.

Random acts of kindness.


Make room for a stranger in the queue.

Let that car in front of you.

Make a call that's overdue.

Random acts of kindness.


Hold a door and let them in.

Ask a stranger how they've been

Play a game and let them win.

Random acts of kindness


Smile at people you walk past

It's okay to come last

Always a pleasure, never a task.

Random acts of kindness

In a stress management class, these acts of kindness can be called 'prosocial behavior." They help build new neuro-pathways leading to relaxation and stress relief.. What happens when you realize that you are in worse shape than the recipient of an intended act of kindness? Pardon me for being so negative about such a positive poem.

I love this Keith as it sums up so simply how small acts are really not small at all and make the world a better place.
