“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.

I am so happy Alan is doing better. My son Michael Jr.is still in the hospital but is now walking with a walker and a bit of help. It takes time. The last two stanzas of your poem I really resonate with. You have written it so beautifully Belle. I hope this is a top winner for you. I will continue to keep Alan in my prayers. Blessings xxoo

Connie I’m pleased to hear your son Michael jr. is improving, it does take time, that’s how it is for Alan who is now walking on two sticks albeit very shakily. Thank you for your prayers, I will keep Michael in mine. God bless, Belle
