That good souls still abound
Not all are bloody-minded;
Great joys can still be found.
A case in point, I missed the bus;
It sailed away as I arrived
(Murphy's law gets all of us)
But, as I stood there, I was spied!
A kindly neighbour in her car
Observing my acute distress
Asked me, «Are you going far?»
«Hop in beside me, be my guest!»
Touched, amazed; what a surprise!
As kindness is in short supply
We quickly formed warm friendship ties
The metro stop was quite close by.
I gave my card (you never know)
I only have her name: Colette
But she has made my day, and so
Her friendliness I shan't forget...
