Like a sock puller for an old man A kind word now and then goes a long way. A smile also ranks high, as It can give peace to whom ever sees it. What is the cost to you, you may ask? Not a penny out of your pocket. Nay, not a red cent. Now that's no bull. Kindness has no cost But gladens the heart that receives it. You are the giver, And don't spare the change.

Wise sentiments, George; it is so true that a smile and/or a kind word can make someone's day; and perhaps change someone's life. Love and peace to you,

Ron touted my sentiments, although I have been very fortunate and are still able to pull on my own socks. There are so many like Ron who need help getting through the day. One wonders about that Higher Power, and wonders why these things happen at all.

For someone who has had to have "sock pullers" for over 20 years, long before he became an old man, your poem rings true. The act of helping someone put their socks on is akin to Jesus washing the feet of a leper. The ultimate kindness.
