I would just like to share with you my little act of kindness. Please, don’t fill the comments section with things like, “Oh Verity, you are such a lovely person.” Or, “I wish I was as good a human as you.” Comments like that only make me blush, and besides, I know I will get my reward in heaven. Yesterday, I was at the checkout in my local Tesco supermarket. The queue was quite long and the frail old lady in front of me...

"When I was young I had a dog. My parents decided that we couldn't afford it. It was the Depression." She told the story once more. Their mother had told it before. They always tried to understand. "It was on Christmas Eve. I cried that night. My dog came back in the morning. I thought it was a miracle." When they heard the story they were happy. The first time. "My father gave it away again. We were poor." Hearing the st...

Once upon a time, at a temple called Mercy, which was located on a mountaintop, there lived two monks. One was named AWAKEN. The other was named HAZY. At the beginning, they went out for alms every day.   Awaken went out alone later on. Hazy found that he only had gone out for a day and could make a lot of alms easily. Then, he used the alms to trade for the daily necessities. Such as the rice and flour… these were enough...

  A young man muttered at his bad luck and penniless situation.   He frowned all the days. A wise senior came across to talk to him, ‘Hey kiddy, why are you so unhappy?’ ‘I don’t understand why I’m so poor always!’ he said. ‘Poor ? I think you are very wealthy!’ the wise senior said sincerely. The young man was puzzled,  ‘Why are you talking like that?’ the wise senior asked. ‘Suppose someone offers you one thousand dolla...

 An ascetic came from a long journey to an obscure village on a gloomy night.  There were some villagers continuously walking to and fro in the streets. When the ascetic walked into an alley, he saw a dim yellow light approaching quietly from the deep end of the alleyway. A villager said, ‘The blind is coming!’ THE BLIND! The ascetic wondered. He asked someone nearby, ‘Is that person carrying a lantern really blind?’ The...

 I have a request to Buddha, “Please let all my friends be healthy and happy forever?”Buddha says, “Only four days!” I say, “Alright, Spring-day, Summer-day, Autumn-day, Winter-day.” Buddha says, “Three days!” I say, “Alright, Yesterday, Today, Next-day.” Buddha says, “No, two days!” I say, “Alright, White-day and Black-day.” Buddha says, “Just one day!” I say, “Alright, when all my friends are living in every single day....

Kind and caring, sweet and fair;With gorgeous blue eyes and long flowing hair;A heart of gold, through and through;Loving to all, pure and true;My gift from God sent on angels' wings;Never questioned the unfairness of so many things;Always so hopeful, come what may;She held onto that hope 'til her dying day;Now she's in Heaven with God above;My daughter, My Angel Face,My heart's true love.           

If you ask me who I love, this is what I'll say;The man whose love for me, grows deeper every day;The man who knows the thoughts, deep within my mind;The man who can be so stubborn, but is more often so very kind;This man calls me his Little Bird, I call him Honeybee;He's the holder of my heart and the only one for me.

 I see you across the canyon, Unable to hold you tight. I can't help with your distress, Try as though I might. Feeling your hurt inside me, I reach out with my mind. Trying to make you hear me. Thoughts of ours in kind. I love you more than words, And how I hold you dear. It's only the distance between us. Soon I will be near. I know today's a rough one, Your struggle obvious, I yearn to take you in my arms, Make the pai...

Hush, my dear, don't say a word. I feel your pains that have occurred.Come close to me and rest your head,I'll hold you tight, scatter your dread. I know you so well; all your fears,Those you call flaws; I hold dear.Not weak at all, so strong and so smart,I love you so much with all my heart. Too often you feel scared and alone,Worried, uncertain, the future unknown.I'll always be here to hold your hand,Reminding you of o...

The fight between Kentaro and Kana quickly spread around school.Some kids even went up to Hiro for confirmation. He told them all the same thing. "She just stuck up for me, that's all." In each of his classes they were talking about it. "It was her first day here and she's already in a fight." "Nobody would be worse than Kentaro." "I heard Hiro asked her to protect him." "Heh, what a loser." Hiro was unable to concentrate...

When you came into my life you automatically cheered me up  helping me to see things differently  brighter more cheerfully. You showed that although  some people just take and take  and never give anything back  not all people are like that... The laughter and kindness you share  warms my heart  but not just mine  everyone you talk to... The ability you have to teach  whilst staying so calm  showing patience and understan...

So I asked if I could have the puppy you rescued She is beautiful, loyal and ever so friendlyand I got the surprise of my life when you said "Yes." Watching as you grab her lead off the benchand then bend down and clip her lead to her collar as you whisper to her.I see her eyes flicker between us and wonder w...
