Charlieku

Life is so fleeting why do we waste chances for kindness perfectly placed? Love is no use if left undeclared. By words or deeds it needs to be shared. And if our hearts seek genuine peace, pride, hate and envy first need release. Happiness comes when with thankful hearts, we share with others gifts God imparts. Thus if we act with goodwill and grace we’ll leave this world a far better place. 13/10/18 3/2/4 syllable count 'Charleku contest' : Sponsored by: Charles Messina
