The Kindness In Me-Sq

The Lord has bestowed such goodness in me, 
for I am the woman He has called me to be. 
I travel down paths leading to a righteous road,
such goodness in me the Lord has bestowed. 

I shall walk through the Lord's threshold of divine hope,
teaching others sympathy, helping them to cope. 
I have read the Good Book with great stories told, 
of divine hope, I shall walk through the Lord's threshold. 

I need not fret, for the Lord is on my side,
as throughout my day I pray and I confide. 
I can bestow kindness, as good as it can get, 
for the Lord is on my side, I need not fret. 

Seek benevolence in me as my love outweighs time, 
wonder how I can live such a life of sublime. 
Believe in my passion for the Lord, as He does in me, 
as my love outweighs time…seek benevolence in me.


I chose: "Kindness"
