Constance La France Poet Verse

''Kindness''

"How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" He
asked... milk and honey dripped from my lips 
and I answered," Cause people have 
NOT been kind to me."   Rupi Kaur

_____________

My path in life has been  t a n g l e d  from my beginnings-
I met DEATH at an early age and it seems he has followed me,
and as a quiet and shy child I soon knew all about bullies   . . . 
But instead of breaking me-  it made me stronger!
I have a STRENGTH within that is unfathomable ~
At times, I have fallen into the pit of life and clawed my way out,
have been put down, abused, belittled, cast out, and forgotten.
But kindness has always  d r i p p e d  from my lips, cause kindness is the key.

M. L. Kiser September 30, 2018 at 2:30 PM It's difficult but, ultimately, it's you that must take the kindness-reigns and guide others. Well penned.

Kai Michael Neumann September 30, 2018 at 1:51 AM Wow. That is strength and well described as well. Kindness. The Buddhist's not hurting anyone (which includes oneself). Great message. Thank you, Kai

Constance La France September 29, 2018 at 3:51 PM Hi Poetic Friends, I reached into the vault of my poetry and pulled out this hidden poem of kindness. It is true, no matter what has ever happened to me in life, tranquility flows from my lips and serenity dwells in my heart.
