SPREAD A LITTLE SPARKLE
You can be a Sparkler, you know.Light up someone’s day, With just one small gesture of kindness.Maybe you couldSay something nice to the girl at the cash deskIn the supermarket,Ringing up groceries Feeling desperately invisibleAs she encourages your purchasesFrom left to right.Ask her how she feels today,Or notice her name badgeAnd tell her she has such a pretty name.Or simply ask her whether she has tasted the biscuits you have just bought,Tell her how delicious they are!Tell her you’ve noticed she has done something to her hairSince your last visit,Or that you like the colour of her nails.Watch her sparkle ignite,And feel your own sparkle glow a little brighter.Tell the tired lady in the liftThat you like her scarf,Or her perfume.And maybe,Just maybe,(But most likely, I promise)Her expression will change,And her eyes will sparkleEven just for a momentBecause she feels seen.Imagine that maybe your tiny compliment is the only thing Anyone says to her all day.Imagine your words inspiring herTo fold her old scarf just a little more carefully,To caress it with love as she places it in her drawer.Maybe she mightSpritz her hallway with her perfume,And close her eyes as she inhales the tiny cloud of delight,Remembering her joy when her granddaughter,Or her friend, or her husband,Gifted it to her.We are all just tiny sparkles,Hoping to sparkle back at someoneAs we go about our not so sparkly days.So why not leave a trail of sparkles behind you?Start the Sparkling Revolution!Change the world!Be a Sparkler!
