A Little Kindness Never Hurts

I’m at my happiest When my heart overflows With kindness and gentle compassion And feel the energy of the universe Radiating from my heart I feel my best when I resonate With the harmony around me Finding ways to enhance The tapestry of mankind’s brotherhood At times by gargantuan efforts At times by seemingly trivial deeds Always on the lookout to help and contribute To make this world a better place There is no end to the ways I can have a significant impact Though there's no way I'll never know The ripple effect of my kindness I’m at my happiest When I recognize the beauty of humanity And feel we are meshed as one solid community Because I fit in and it is my honor and privilege to Bestow kindness every hour every day of my life Submitted on November 25, 2018 for contest A LITTLE KINDNESS NEVER HURTS sponsored by BRENDA CHIRI - RANKED 1ST

Hi, I don't no any other way to write you a message. But being in not a premium member I can't make a contest. But I had one in mind. "Being January is almost over, surely you've written a new poem for the year 2023. I'd like to read it. Share with us what your first poem of the year is." Or something like that. If you wanted to.

Line, if had's seen 6 months later where you congratulated me, I wouldn't have had opportunity to congratulate you also. Thank you so much for taking time to contact me. Until this week haven't posted anything since then, or been on soup. Thanks again!

So beautiful, Line! There's an ancient writing in which a prophet asks an older woman what wish he can grant her. She replies ---Nothing, for I am among my people. You have reformulated this piece of ancient wisdom in exquisite fashion. Simply wonderful. :) gw
