Kindheartedness

i am kindhearted
because i been doged out before
i know of disapointments
when your heart hits the floor

i am kindhearted
because i believe in dreams
when someone has a hope
it's a sin to be mean

i am kindhearted
because i've been left out
i guess i was'nt cool enough
so i did'nt have the clout

i am kindhearted
because of every kind of abuse
i don't wish my fellow man 
to suffer being used

i am kindhearted
because i know what homeless is
the weather was my wife
and my sufferings were our kids

i am kindhearted
because i believe in Gods love
look how far i've come from
and the things that He has done

i am kindhearted
because i survived it all
i may not be through with my troubles
but i have strenght to withstand a fall

This poem speaks to the heart John. I can relate. Having to cope with such circumstances make one very humble though not always kindhearted, but you seem to have taken the higher road which says much about you. Blessings, Connie

It takes a lot of being kicked around, a lot of years, to come to your conclusions. I know. I've been there. Love, daver
