Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Sun Shines On the Righteous

No grudges befall people who seek
       peace and harmony at all cost.

       Stores are always full for those
who have cultivated a spirit of giving.

Wealth follows people who work for bliss,
       rather than working for money.

      A good name is immortalized for those
who have left a reason to be remembered.

      Generosity always bounces back
to those who show kindness.

Sun shines on the righteous.
