Gift of Benevolence

In a world where boons often fade,
And kindness can be obnoxiously betrayed.
There is a spark within the human soul.
A blaze of empathy that frames us whole.
Benevolent spirits, shining so brightly
With feats of kindness defunct so kindly,
They rattle the strings of selfishness and greed.
And proffer their compassion to those in need.
A benefaction, an award of grace,
Prone to forbearance and a tepid embrace,
Dangling before those who suffer,
An abetment of purport they can't succor but uncover.
In the realm of benevolence,
There is no berth for indifference.
But rather a commitment to grant a hand,
To bestow at random a world that's truly grand.
With warmhearted lenience and neighborliness,
Peerless blessings bestowed with abnormal finesse,
The Godsend and courtesy shown to all
Utters the benignity in every soul's call.
No act of kindness is too thrall
No assent is too insignificantly small.
Even chaste gestures matter.
Comforting even with tongue flatter.
So let us recognize and acknowledge
The power of kindness, the strength of our pledge,
To be there for one another in times of need,
To offer a sororal or avuncular deed.
To swell our hospitality and condolences,
To embrace the genuine kernel of benevolence.
For in the gift of benevolence, we find:
A graciousness that transcends the unkind,
A willingness to vindicate and herald kindness,
To hoist others, regardless of their blindness.
In this world where obligations can weigh us down,
Benevolence shines such a golden crown.
Unsympathetic hearts may strain to obstruct,
But the power of kindness will always conduct
With sisterly love and a heart that's forgiving,
Benevolence triumphs, forever living.
