Notes About The Poem

Kind Compassionate Hearts

“Be the kindness in one’s darkness.”Quote ~ poets own 
Kind Compassionate Hearts

Concern is a lifeline to some
There’s always someone feeling glum 
Acts of kindness are art of heart
Pleasing the Lord whose will be done.

A tender heart casts light o’er dark
To ignite crying spirits spark
Speak in words of seraphic grace
Raising souls to soar free as lark.

Empathy puts a smile in place 
Smiles should glow upon every face
Reflecting brilliant sunny rays
Tears fears and sorrow gone with haste.

Focusing o'er woeful heart pays
When seeing one’s joy come ablaze
Remember to offer your best
To those who struggle through life's maze.

Sow seeds of hope in the oppressed
Lighten the load of those who're stressed
Guide them to the ace redeemer 
That they shall be forever blessed.
