Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The World's Adorned

    Every day, kindness’ reborn
       May all rejoice, the world’s adorned

    The boy who takes his elder's arm 
       keeping him safe from traffic’s harm 

    The girl who visits nursing homes
       bestowing serenity and shalom

     Each act of kindness, welcome news 
       ~ hope for our future, divinely infused

Regina Elliott September 18, 2024 at 5:35 AM Sweet poem, Gershon. There's still many good people of different ages in the world. They shine among humanity.
