THE POWER OF KINDNESS - MYSTIC

We find ourselves living in a crazy world,
where people walk the streets reading their phones.
Where life goes on for them and not for others,
where me and myself now rule.
Do you know the power of kindness?
Have you tried it?
Thinking of others before self,
is a win-win for all.
You can make a life happy not sad,
try giving out free smiles or a helping hand.
In return you can make yourself happy,
as your heart wears a big smile.
The power of kindness is free,
this old world is in need.

Hilo Poet Date: 10/5/2025 7:38:00 PM So true, kindness is a win-win situation where both come out smiling. Need is everywhere, and sadly, so is ignorance. A little act of kindness goes a long way. A blessed write and a blessed day to you, my friend. Aloha. Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 10/6/2025 12:14:00 PM Great to see you here. Thank You for your comment.

Eve Roper Date: 10/4/2025 5:07:00 PM Paula, I am so shocked that people everywhere i go even in the car, the phone is their Lord. Hard for them to get demagnetized from their phone. People are also afraid to be friendly because of trust. (bigotry). I am glad we are friends. If for contest good luck Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 10/5/2025 10:38:00 AM Great to see you here.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 10/4/2025 2:45:00 PM dear Paula, I absolutely love this! It's such a needed reminder, especially when it feels like everyone's lost in their screens and the "me and myself now rule." That image of your heart wearing a big smile when you're kind to others is just gorgeous. You're right, it's a free win-win for the whole world. Keep spreading that mystic kindness!
