Some memories seem so long ago and far away,
While others memories seem like only yesterday,
This is one of those "only yesterday" memories to me.
I had complimented a rancher for his success,
But his response was something I could have never guessed.
He told me straight faced, eye to eye, that there was something he wanted me to know,
That there was a time when he was about to lose everything many years ago,
A rancher two states away heard of his plight and called that night,
Telling that he had plush pastures but no cattle and if the cattle could be brought down to his place the cattle could graze for free,
So that is what they did and then his eyes became teary as he said to me,
"I want everyone to know that I am where I am today because of another person's kindness",
His response taught me that humbly so much good in our life is the result of a kindness given to us.
