Good Deeds

Good Deeds don't go by unnoticed, just like a daisy, rose or lotus

I try hard to treat people with kindness, but seldom rewarded respect or politeness

Only the sane come back to their senses, with an act of kindness your self-esteem enhances

I am never reluctant to lend a hand, those in need I do understand

People are born with tempting desire, love and compassion is what you require

For all my sins I have remorse, may God forgive my wicked thoughts

If I'm to blame for what was done, in God I trust and not someone

I thank the lord for all his gifts, my time on earth had passed so swift

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed. (Please check the definition of sonnet.)

Thank you for your kind words and the warm welcome. I am a Muslim, but at the end we all worship the same God, as there is only one God, the creator of all mankind.
