Blest Kindness

Blest kindness* shines, warmed by God’s grace Lifting hearts midst loving embrace Beaming with peace of triumph signs Warmed by God’s grace, blest kindness shines. Vanquishing greed, smiting loss-pain Kindness prevails through goodness’ gain While sowing seed of caring breed Smiting loss-pain, vanquishing greed. Inspired to bloom, assuring hope Kindness prospers for sharing scope That conquers well selfishness’ gloom Assuring hope, inspired to bloom. To God I pray for kindness’ flow When reaching-out with sincere glow Fleeing from tempting boastful ray For kindness’ flow, to God I pray. With kind spirit of cheering might Innate magnetism sparks light My soul desires that I be fit Of cheering might with kind spirit.
*Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. October 4, 2022 Edited on October 21, 2022 with the addition of last stanza.

Kindness and compassion are great virtues which come close to love. If people have these three qualities, this world will turn into another heaven. Swap quatrain is a difficult poetic form. Still you have done it masterfully! Best of luck in the contest, dear Beata !

Kindness is not hateful or greedy. It is sincere und unselfish. I am saddened by America’s political divisiveness when it comes to Hurricane Ian. It lacks a certain kindness. God bless those whose kindness flows during this and all times. God bless you, Beata!
