Xenodochial

 Quote:
"Xenodochial (pronounced zeena-doh-key-ul) means to be hospitable. Making others feel at home is truly an art. When you can make your friends, family, and even strangers feel as if they truly belong, you are making the world a better place". By Poet

                        In a rather distant and uncaring world
            There is a virtue that is widely unknown
Friendly, xenodochial, and blithesome Words
A non-parochial warmth is widely shown
                        Strive to treat strangers with dignity and kindness
And to bless your soul, grant no eyes to blindness
You may glimpse angels—in this river of dryness
      No impediments ought to obscure the light
            Treasure is always found at unexpected sites
                        Always be suitable for fresh starts and height
Welcoming pathway lights are faint yet pearled
            Bear in mind we harvest whatever we have sown
      Don't scold or exhibit just a shred of unkindness
            A star shining on you will be soft, mild, and bright
