Bestowing Kindness

Simple treasures enshrine the heart bestowing a glee pure with delight; goodies wrapped in foil thrill the orphans on a breezy night, sweet lyrics glow… Merry the friendship when long talks bind enchanting hours of sweet reveries, as cheers are shared with honeyed tea while neighbors join to say hello… We flock ‘round Grandma’s homemade pies Then offer tidings for everyone; beneath a pine’s star glazed by joy with gift of thanks for blessings’ grace… Along the blue of bluest night prayers spill for world unity when gratitude finds the loving, the yearning of tender spirits a promise where kindness resides.

This is a difficult balance you've achieved, i.e., a title that summons expectations of just another ordinary rhyme that then proceeds to demolish the notion. Well and carefully expressed. I spent a few pleasant moments here in only half-recalled memories of my own.

very nostalgic and sweet, Nette. For some reason, the way it is formatted, I think, I was almost thinking it was a rhymed poem!
