Kind Gestures

Show a gesture of warmth to all you meet Offer each one the least- a pleasing smile! A kind gesture can give others a new start Geniality generates joy, creating a comfy feel Offer each one the least- a pleasing smile Many wallow in gnawing despair Geniality generates joy, creating a comfy feel Mend their hearts which need urgent repair Many wallow in gnawing despair Lend your ears to what they have to say Mend their hearts which need urgent repair When you listen, their frustration you allay Lend your ears to what they have to say Having no one to listen is the greatest bane When you listen, their frustration you allay By patiently listening, their anxieties, you slain Having no one to listen is the greatest bane A kind gesture can give others a new start By patiently listening, their anxieties, you slain Show a gesture of warmth to all you meet May.23. 2022 A Rhyming Pantoum of Five stanzas Poetry Contest Sponsor- L Milton Hankins Re submitted for Pantoum Old or New Poetry Contest Sponsor- Joseph May

Nothing is truly more delightful than when we see the accomplishments of our personnel, especially when they are as flawlessly and exquisitely crafted as Pantoum. Indeed dear friend Valsa. It is actually the behavior of wise people to talk less and listen more; one should adopt this behavior.

Two ears and a smile: That's all we need to be ambassadors of goodwill to all whom we meet. Lovely writ, Valsa. :) gw

I am a terrible listener as I find when I listen to people, they never stop talking and seldom have anything to say worth listening to! Thank goodness for religious leaders, psychiatrists, and psychologists! Enjoyed, Valsa! Aloha!
