Best Wishes

It’s always a nice thing to do
to be the giver of good things
wishing always what is best
so that kindness will spring

Now when you receive kindness
you feel so much the better
it lifts your spirits no end
whether it’s audible or letter

What a picture this brings
to be honoured with this
just simple words ‘best wishes’
makes one feel had a kiss

We all need to be a giver
bringing always such good wishes
seek to be full of joy and gladness
for this indeed is most clever

I read a saying in a children's book a week or so ago, that if we do one kind deed a day it will boomerang back to us twofold. Receiving feels good but I enjoy giving, well written poem Gordon my friend, Hugs, blessings, JENNIFER.

Hi Gordon the fellow Brit is back! Busy life getting in the way of creative thinking. Your little poem made me smile. We have no idea what simply being kind and wishing people the best has on our fellow travellers. Wishing you best wishes too.

Hey Gordon, I loved how you beautifully capture the essence of spreading positivity and goodwill. Your words create a profound impact simple acts of kindness can have on both the giver and the receiver. Let us be generous with our kindness and to celebrate the beauty of uplifting one another. - Blessings Daniel
