-Love And Kind Intent

If all we did in our lifetime

Came from a place of love and kind intent

The world would be a better place

Not perfect…though many sufferings it would prevent


It is such a shame it is not that simple

Though l so wish it to be true

We could live in greater harmony

All humans, all countries….me and you!

Your wonderful verses are close to my heart, kindness costs nothing, just a gentle nature. The other day an assistant helped me in a green grocers shop, but she was so grumpy to the point of being rude, as I was leaving I said to her, why don't you smile a little, it costs nothing, you will feel happier and so will your customers, and your boss might even raise your salary. Great write my friend. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Great sentiments Deb I hope you are well I Am now in the situation of the prodigal son 'Not in the sense of squandering of money' More in the sense of rebelling against my home Country.! Now i am trapped by circumstance And my love has risen as I have watched the Carnage during the plandemic at home i wanted To return a few years before anyway.' I am very Concerned about my country! how are you btw? If you don't mind? I will soup mail you.'

It seems so simple and yet, people just don't want to make an effort. It would be a much more pleasant world to live in. Thanks for sharing your kind thoughts with us through your poetry, Deb. Hugs, Bill

True words Deb...unfortunately the human condition looks for more complex and self focussed solutions, ignoring the obvious truth and simplicity as captured in this thoughtful poem....a good reminder to us all. Takue care my friend....

Deb, you are exactly correct in adopting a stance of benevolence, since it is the most effective approach when dealing with individuals of that nature. I am perplexed by the abundance of individuals who harbor animosity in our environment.

Ms. Deb M. Amen to your pen! I am so puzzled as to why there are so many haters in this world. I think you are absolutely right to come from a place of kindness as that is the best strategy when one is up against those kind of souls. Blessings to you.
