-TRUE KINDNESS - POTD

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

Hello Deb, an excellent piece and a great reminder. Words full of truth. Well deserved POTD. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend.

so true and beautifully put.Have a great day and keep smiling :)

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 ;-)
