Graciousness

Graciousness Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions Looks beyond affronts – lifting mercy up on reconciling arms True thoughtful courtesy caresses inflamed scars like a soothing lotion, Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions Listens with a chivalrous heart – welcomes kindness compassion born Sidesteps anger’s open pitfalls - sees past the commotion. Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions Looks past affronts – lifting mercy up on reconciling arms. 11-11-20 Contest: Graciousness Triolet Sponsor: Mohan Chutani

Graciousness, an attribute that's free to us all, but rarely used by some. Very nice indeed Sam, and congratulations also, James :)
