Kindness

Entry for same poem, different form poetry contest: Crystol Woods

Kindness

(Free verse)

When life brings us difficult times with pain,
kindness from others helps the soul heal
In times of need, kindness can make all the difference,
Even with simple business tasks to do,
kindness makes it smooth and easy
It connects us, while this gem brings safety
Kindness opens authenticity to be who we are
Kindness is the golden key to genuine connection

(Nonet)

             Kindness is the key to connection
                       Humanity relies on this
                     Kindness is lovng support
                     Kindness builds on respect
                         small ways, big ways
                            makes memories
                                   A simple
                                   profound
                                       gift

Tom Woody Date: 6/30/2024 6:11:00 AM Sweet Heidi. True kindness looks for the good in others and offers aid and assistance where necessary. There is also false kindness, sadly Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 6/30/2024 6:15:00 AM Yes. You are right about the false kindness and this is based on the genuine. Thank you Tom :)
