What Should I Seek

What Should I Seek
Kevin Davis 2024

Seek to learn what makes you feel kindness and love,
A gentle whisper from the heavens above.
In the smallest gestures, in the warmest embrace,
In the light that shines from a smiling face.

It’s in every hand that reaches out in need,
And in the selfless act, in the most noble deed.
It’s in the words that heal, the hearts that care,
In the silent prayers, in the moments we share.

Kindness is the bridge that connects us all,
Love is the answer, no matter how small.
Together we all should weave a tapestry bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night.

So let your heart be open, let your spirit be free,
Spread kindness and love, like the waves of the sea.
For in giving, we find the true meaning of life,
In kindness and love, we conquer all strife.

So, fill your life with a bright smiling face,
Open your heart and arms to those who need an embrace.
Never listen to anyone who speaks only hatred and vile,
For this will never offer anything to make you smile.

Everyone needs something to make them whole,
Love and kindness you will feel deep in your soul.
So, turn away from anyone who makes you distraught,
Hold on to your values the way you were taught.
