Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Some With Faces

Friends with names, some with faces
                                 all with voices to be heard
With a pen or a keyboard
              and with thoughts from which we learn
Friends no less, from a distance
                         all with feelings meant to share
Welcome songs in the silence
                           when it seems no one is there
Words are spent, some are lavished
                      all are welcomed through the day
In this world, any kindness
                             is worth more than I can say

Gershon Wolf November 2, 2021 at 6:51 AM 'In this world, any kindness is more than I can say' -- Wow, Mike! Right on target there. Kindness has never been in great measure throughout the millenia. Our century/centuries, no exception to that 'historical trend.'... One kindness a day keeps the devouring jungle away, I say. Bravo, and congrats on POTD.
