Notes About The Poem

Kindness is the way

in a world of bitterness and hate
look for signs of compassion
and make those your guideposts

I agree...never underestimate the value of kindness and compassion. It means, though, being observant and putting one's self aside....that's a challenge for some folks. Wishing you a splendid weekend, Sara

I agree! And a smile…drawn to a smile. Still, talk to others so the relationship isn’t skin deep. Often we miss something. Hugs
