Do you want to be a happier person? Do you want good karma to come your way? Practice kindness in this cruel world, I often do It's one of my most salient characteristics A little kindness never hurts To me, there's nothing more Emotionally and spiritually rewarding Than knowing you've brightened Somebody's day. I always feel good being kind A little kindness never hurts I find that it's a demulcent to the soul The measure of kindness, however small Is remembered by those on the receiving end It's a virtue my parents instilled in me as a child A little kindness never hurts I'm proud to say that I'm kind, naturally I make an effort to practice kindness Expecting nothing in return. And I go to sleep Satisfied that I've done some good in the world A little kindness never hurts STANDARD CONTEST 170,any form,any,theme,upto a max of 20 lines Sponsored by Brian Strand (Winner: 1st Place) Date written and posted: 12/07/2018 "A Little Kindness Never Hurts" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brenda Chiri (Winner: 1st Place) Date written and posted: 12/07/2018

"To me, there's nothing more Emotionally and spiritually rewarding Than knowing you've brightened Somebody's day." Indeed, true; especially when you're moved and inspired by the Author and Source of kindness - God. Thanks for your reminder. God bless you!
