Kindness does have a 'sweeter appeal' - wonderful metaphor of the rose petal, good luck in the contest, Line-

This is just gorgeous, Line. So many senses stimulated in just four lines. A classic model of poetry as imagery, appeal to the senses, rhythmical flow, and precise economy of language. A FAVE! Thanks, Gershon
