Notes About The Poem

Kindness and Grace

Life is like a gentle sigh Breathing out a heartening reply Coloring the thoughts in laughing gold Silencing worries and struggles so untold Whispering peace into the heart and soul Lighting up the spirit so it’s alive and whole Easing the broken heart with warm hope That comforts the solemn, helping them cope Breaking through the worry and pain Soothing the heart who knows the rain Life isn’t about who will always win the race It’s about who will love with kindness and grace Inspired by Jo Daniel’s poem, Life is not – which I dearly loved

The poem is beautiful. Life presents unexpected trails and tests, so I have learned that they are a part of life. I particular love the last two lines because it reminds me to offer grace and kindness to myself and others.

Gina, I thought I had sent you a bouquet of congratulations - guess it got lost in cyber space. So well said. The true winners in life are the ones who have "run the race" and "fought the good fight" with class and grace. They are always remembered! Congratulations on your POTD. Lovely couplets. Blessings my friend.
