There are times we offer care with open hands,
only to watch it go unnoticed or misunderstood.
You gave gently, hoping to help,
but it landed somewhere that could not hold it.
This piece carries the weight of that moment.
When kindness feels lost.
When you question whether it was too much,
or not enough.
Still, it mattered.
Even when it is misplaced, kindness teaches.
It asks us to be tender with ourselves too,
to pay attention to where our softness is safe.
