The chair you carried

You carried out another chair And placed it in the open air. A simple seat, a thoughtful way To say you're welcome here today.

Thank you · Warm

The directions you drew

You drew a map and marked the bend Where I should turn to reach the end. Your careful arrows helped me through; The road felt friendlier thanks to you.

Thank you · Warm

The spare pair of gloves

You saw the cold upon my hands And changed your own small morning plans. Two gloves, a smile, a little care Put warmer weather in the air.

Thank you · Warm

You kept your promise

You said you'd call, and then you did; A quiet worry quickly hid. A promise kept, however small, Can be the kindest thing of all.

Thank you · Warm

The kindness carried home

Your kindness stayed when I had gone And helped me put my courage on. A gentle word can travel far And shine where quiet worries are.

Thank you · Tender

Thanks for the nudge

You gave a nudge when doubt was loud And found a gap inside the cloud. You didn't push; you walked with me Till I could see what I might be.

Thank you · Hopeful

You made room

You moved a chair and made some space So I could find a friendly place. A small adjustment, gently done, Can turn a stranger into someone.

Thank you · Warm

For the little things

You found my scarf, you fixed the light, You asked if I got home all right. The little things you choose to do Make ordinary days feel new.

Thank you · Warm

For showing up

You didn't bring a grand surprise; You brought your time and kindly eyes. That simple gift of being near Was more than enough to help me here.

Thank you · Warm

The note you left

A little note beside my plate Said take your time; I'll gladly wait. Those simple words came into view And made me feel at home with you.

Thank you · Warm

Your patient ears

You heard the words I couldn't say And didn't hurry them away. You let the tangled story start And held it gently in your heart.

Thank you · Tender

Thank you for the lift

You saw my bags and took a few; The heavy day grew lighter, too. A helping hand, a simple smile Can change the weather for a while.

Thank you · Warm
