PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before this election:

I truly believed most people are kind, loving and accepting

and the future of our country was bright. 

And that after the election I would take great pleasure

when I was proven to be right.

I believed kindness, love and acceptance

would find their way into the ballot box…

I believed that…in a majority of people in this country

these feelings were quite strong.

But after this election…

it grieves me to know that I was proven wrong.

I believe this country is heading in the wrong direction…

In my heart this feeling is quite strong….

And, yes, I know the majority of people in this country

believe that I am wrong.

But I believe for a country 

without love, kindness and acceptance in it’s heart

the future is anything but bright….

and I will take no pleasure 

if I am proven to be right.

As you navigate your way through life

may you be blessed to find….

when it comes to everyone and everything you meet…

you will never regret being kind

Today…a blessing for kindness…

For…how often do we find…

to those we love…our friends and family…

it’s easy to be kind.

This blessing asks for that same kindness

to cascade…to overflow….

on to every creature of the Earth…

even those we do not know.

Just think how every day life 

would be more of a wonder

a delight

a pleasure

a treat

if we all tried to be a little bit kinder

to everyone they meet.

Today I’m thankful for the magic inherent in kindness…

We should never take an act of kindness for granted…NEVER!

because the simplest act of kindness

can lead to feelings that echo into forever.
