The Heart of my Prose. Looking back in the past for a kindness, for to pay homage to in a contest. Asked hubby if he'd one he could recall, "write of your kindnesses to me" he said. That was so unexpected, tears were wept. There has been many setbacks and upsets, constant health issues being the reason. Yet taking it all in stride, how we tried, taking each day as a gift to receive. Humour has been a facet in our lives. This brings to mind many roles often played, acting the mother, carer, nurse and wife. But there's not been one moment of regret, all the yesterday's have been truly blessed. Golden souvenirs of life's memories, kindness is essential to life and love, that's something that surely everyone knows. It's importantly so as time goes by, just as a rose needs the rain so it grows, you’re needed darling, the heart of my prose. * * * Kindness is goodness a light shining in the dark to the heart that cries. 8th August 2021 Kindness Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina Mcintosh * * * * * *

A lovely read, Belle, and a wonderful reminder that as much as we love to receive a kindness, it is such a joy to give kindness and know it has been a blessing. Love your words, "all the yesterday's have been truly blessed. Golden souvenirs of life's memories". Thank you and God bless ~ John

A meaningful haiku. We tend to forget the good things we do to each other.

This made me emotional as I could relate to it. Myself and hubby too faced many tough times together, our spiritual background helped us. You are lucky to have a good husband who appreciates your help. God bless you both with tons of happiness. Very good write.
