A Little Kindness Never Hurts

Even when I was a child I held such good qualities. I would write my older sisters’ letters with such ease. They would profess my love and sincere gratitude, with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. I see now that these kind ways never did cease. Now I am almost forty and can see all the good I hold in my heart from the pain I’ve withstood. My sympathy and empathy sure do run deep, sometimes for the homeless I still cry and weep. There was this one man I gave food to when I could. I make sure my hubby knows how much I adore his affection and love he bestows unto me galore. He reads the poems I write him here on the Soup, and he is glad knowing I am part of this kind group. I know there is so much good to do in store. When my sister is sad from losing Karen I call her to make sure I can be there when she does fall. I show compassion to the hurting over death, and for those who know suicide I’d give my last breath. For the families suffering I shall always stand tall. There is benevolence inside me when I see abused pets. I give money to those charities monthly without regrets. I know the good it will do when they need shelter and food, saving from those who can be so disparaging and rude. They need kindness shown when under such threats. I am sensitive to the needs of others so very much, and I know sometimes all they need is one touch. I carry burdens for my daughter so she can be free from all the pain in middle school there can be. I gift her little loving letters in her daily lunch. For I am unselfish and merciful with humility. Even though at times I suffer from insecurity. But there’s this kindliness deep inside I feel, it’s the magic that helps the suffering heal. I have been born with faith and sincere purity.
