genteel and gracious
sun, sweetness, serenity
penning poetry
I
Do you connect with struggling writers
Would you know it
Harry the Weaver, poet
Graces communities, fraternities,
(Sororities, too?)
II
To have someone read your scraps of work
Going back as far as is feasible
prince HH reads closely, generously
With the gentleness of weavers,
Care, calmness, goodness - fruit of the Spirit
Makes it tolerable to wait to be heard
Pleasure to be respectfully read
To be free to write FREELY, profusely
Its from on high that we receive such gift
and when we encounter it, we know
For it is something that never goes adrift
its from on high that we receive such gift
being gracious always gives our face a lift
and makes our hearts feel all aglow
its from on high that we receive such gift
and when we encounter it, we know !

Graciousness comes with smile and laughter
The perfect gesture to dismiss the gentle gaffe
And permits the guest be assured that after
Graciousness comes with smile and laughter
Welcome all who enter in, hereafter
To grace our homes with peace and joy
Graciousness comes with smile and laughter
The perfect gesture to dismiss the gentle gaffe.

For Mohan Chutani’s Triolet contest
The Lord is gracious, loving, kind,
Showering His mercy on us,
Sacrificed His Son for mankind;
The Lord is gracious, loving, kind,
He expects we'll have the same mind;
We are saved by His love surplus;
The Lord is gracious, loving, kind,
Showering His mercy on us.
We must be gracious every day,
Showing compassion to others,
Following the Lord in His way,
We must be gracious every day,
Through our walk and talk, men must say,
"Look how he treats us like brothers",
We must be gracious every day,
Showing compassion to others.

For Mohan Chutani's "Graciousness" contest
Graciousness and humility win a heart
Bringing all closer, in this drifting world
She binds us together so we don't fall apart
Graciousness and humility win a heart
To make it happen one must play their part
Against her bosom, safely curled
Graciousness and humility win a heart
Bringing all closer, in this drifting world

There is a theme of graciousness
in your bearing that freely flows.
Your heart exudes true thoughtfulness.
There is a theme of graciousness
that imparts from your consciousness.
The more used, the greater it grows.
There is a theme of graciousness
in your bearing that freely flows.
How good she is; how sweet and kind.
Nobody would she ever harm,
for charity directs her mind.
How good she is; how sweet and kind.
It is as if the lass is blind
to faults we bear. Endowed with charm,
how good she is; how sweet and kind!
Nobody would she ever harm.

In tribute to all the truly good little girls I have met in my life, many of whom have already grown up to be wonderful women!
GRACIOUSNESS
Her graciousness to impress.
Never rude, modest stamina.
Her own grief always to suppress.
Her graciousness to impress.
Pleasing all, though being depressed.
Cool demure polite persona.
Her graciousness to impress.
Never rude, modest stamina.

God’s abounding graciousness does prevail
reigning over covetousness and greed
allowing selfishness not to assail…
God’s abounding graciousness does prevail
while shared blessings and hope from Him avail
offering peace, joy, hope midst love indeed…
God’s abounding graciousness* does prevail
reigning over covetousness and greed.
*Psalm103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Sponsored by Mohan Chutani; judged on 11/25/2020.
Oh, Lord your graciousness for all to see
Your kindness even to the wrongdoer
You love even if not returned to thee
Oh, Lord your graciousness for all to see
You're there to protect, provide, care for me
Though I’m not aware you are always there
Oh, Lord your graciousness for all to see
Your kindness even to the wrongdoer

Love is found in grace made for two
A lifetime's divine melody
Stars shining just for me and you
Love is found in grace made for two
Love for us will always be true
In heart uplifting rhapsody
Love is found in grace made for two
A lifetime's divine melody.
