My Moment of Kindness
One morning, I opened my front door to find my neighbour had left me some strawberry plants, just because she had heard my two year old daughter talking about how much she loved strawberries. My daughter loves watching the fruit grow and we baked a cake together to thank our neighbour for her kindness. It made her very happy.
Sitting
There on the doorstep,
Red bow tied
Around it,
Was a gift from a kind neighbour, a box of
Beautiful strawberry plants.
Every day, my daughter
Runs outside,
Ready to
Inspect the plants and
Eat any ripe, red
Strawberries. Delicious!
