The little scraps that I’ve forgot
But mattered to another
Bits of art and writing
Saved by a friend
or by a brother
or a sister
or a parent or grandmother
or a stranger…
Fleeting in my mind, yet worth another’s bother…
The scraps of kindness briefly given
To one briefly encountered, then not seen again…
Scraps of thought and attention due,
Unnoticed by me, but seen by You.
