I send a postcard
to a senior citizen home
every week.
The postcard has a bad joke on it
and brightly colored stickers.
For the first couple months,
it added to the fun
in the home
but the arrival
of the postcard
wasn’t an ‘event’.
After about a year,
the arrival
of the postcard
has become an ‘event.’
Residents look forward
to the postcard.
The Activities Organizer
brings out
the previous postcards.
Everyone tells bad jokes
and looks at the images.
Today, you’re likely
working on something small
and you might be thinking
“Why bother?”
“No one will notice
or care.”
They WILL care
and you SHOULD bother.
Small actions
add up
over time.
THIS is one way
we make a difference
in this wonderful world.
