A Little Kindness Never Hurts, I Say

We all need kindness in our lives, and so at least a little bit of it each day is something that I always try to show. A little kindness never hurts, I say. Should friends of mine have an emergency, (perhaps a gal pal needs a place to stay), she’s welcome at my house, and meals are free! A little kindness never hurts, I say. I love to bake for others; this I do a few times monthly. Though I’m no gourmet, my cooking isn’t bad! I’d cook for you! A little kindness never hurts, I say. I’m very tolerant. “Live and let live” is how I think. When loved ones go astray, I do not judge; I easily forgive. A little kindness never hurts, I say. When friends ask for a favor, I will try to help them if I can without delay. We all need one another to get by! A little kindness never hurts, I say. Dec. 6, 2018 for Brian Strand's Completely Your Choice (10)Any Form Any Theme Poetry Contest

We have had terrible storms and a lot of rain here thanks to Trump having Russia screw up our weather. Tomorrow night is Christmas choir recital that is vital; To hear it God us does entitle.
