Valsa George Poet Rhyme

Compassion and Kindness

Show a gesture of warmth to all you meet 
If not, offer them the least- a pleasing smile! 
Every one can give it absolutely free of cost 
Smile reflects your inner joy, begetting a cordial feel
	
When many wallow in gnawing despair
Tell them stories of those who have dared and won 
That will mend their hearts needing urgent repair
Filling them with hope, yet with more to be done.

Lend your ears to what they have to say
Having no one to share is the greatest bane
When you listen, their frustration you allay
And rid them of their scalding, inner pain

Visit someone who is left desolate and lonely
Show them that they are cared and loved
Such a gesture will be counted as godly
With such acts, many hearts can be touched      

Gravitate others into the orbit of your joy and cheer
This world prospers by man’s sweat and toil
But it is lighted up by our kindness and care
Love kindles hearts even amid the greatest turmoil

Rico Leffanta February 6, 2022 at 10:39 AM My father always greeted people with a smile and I immensely disliked his duplicity, but then I was never on the receiving end . . . .we all learn best from experience! Aloha! Valsa George February 7, 2022 at 4:41 AM Smiling with daggers hidden behind is so despicable. Yes, there are some such people. Time will unravel their real nature ! I know you are joking.... !

Anil Deo February 6, 2022 at 8:37 AM Kudos for essential humane living. This gentle poem reminds me of 2 things: 1. Your poem about the beggar U feasted at your home, and 2. We lived thousands of years without therapists, because families & neighbors listened & showed EMPATHY. Great reminders via poetry.
