TRUE KINDNESS

I was taught the true meaning of kindness From the very best That kindness comes in all shapes and forms Has substance pure and honest Kindness is a blessing Both to those who give and those who receive It comes straight from an open heart Without conditions or deceit

well said, Deb. Kindness is truly both a gift to give and receive...a blessing. I was always told to 'err on the side of kindness.' Lovely poem, Sara

Isn’t it kind of me, to wait over a week to congratulate you on POTD, Deb… rather like keeping back a Christmas present for Boxing Day. And if any one should infer that I don’t check POTDs often enough, I shall strenuously protest my innocence! But, on the off chance that you could be taken in by such slanderous notions, I apologise profusely… I’m kind like that ;-)

Deb, that is meaningful. A great sentiment. I was in a Restaurant the other day and this old guy was moving along slowly, and he looked as if he was having a bad time. So I just said hi and he smiled like it made his week. We need more of that. Keep Rolling.
