L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Joy, Hope, and Kindness

Some celebrate these three: 
Faith, hope, and charity,
But I’m inclined to confess:
Joy, hope, and kindness --
Joy, a reward for faithfulness,
Hope brings future clarity
Kindness is the grand prix!

Bill Baker February 9, 2022 at 4:52 PM Great entry for this contest, should do well. Basically, WOW! I really liked this one, a FAV. Bill L Milton Hankins February 9, 2022 at 5:17 PM Aw, thanks a lot, my friend. I can truly say that I was having a lot of trouble coming up with something for this contest, and this just came to me almost in a flash. I was, of course, thinking of the love chapter in I Corinthians.
