Thoughtful deeds are like the sun: help me identify the verse/poem

March 17, 2023 2:35 PM

I'd like to reproduce this verse and make a gift to my sister, I've associated it with her since childhood but I cannot recall the verse in its entirety.

It goes:

Thoughtful deeds are like the sun
They warm the heart and make life fun
(etc)

I recall a kitten graphic, it's just one of those childhood things and I keep meaning to create this gift, appreciate the help getting the rest of the verse.

while I can't find the original Etsy auction, the poem appears in a Google images preview, complete with kitten in a vase of flowers. (The image source is listed as a Holly Hobbie stationery set, but it's clearly from an 'also on Etsy' image.) To simplify matters, I posted it to imgur.

Thoughtful deeds
Are like the sun
They warm the heart
And make life fun
And always bring an extra share
Of happiness to those who care

Response by poster: that is the exact image that was hanging on the wall of our living room growing up, right above the rotary phone
