The Priest With Spirited Eyes

The Priest with Spirited Eyes Heart sees tender giving in those spirited eyes,- Shared love given to those with great need! Comforting hearts that hurt but don't bleed, With love spent in helping as precious time flies Your healing gently washes away so many lies, Mercy prevails as you plant that seed;- Heart sees tender giving in those spirited eyes, Shared love given to those with great need! As welcomed as are rain clouds in desert skies Healing those victims with kindness and speed! Hearts mended, imprisoned Souls quickly freed, With tender mercies prevailing and joy in the cries, Heart sees tender giving in those spirited eyes. Robert J. Lindley, 07/13/2014 Sponsor Debbie Guzzi Contest Name - Random Acts of Kindness Rondel A French form consisting of 13 lines: two quatrains and a quintet, rhyming as follows: ABba abAB abbaA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats.
