I used to think my story was impossible to tell
Then I discovered kindness - humanity
It is in the gentle things - the soft touch of caring fingers
A smile in-between the silences- just knowing, perhaps
If we learn how to treat ourselves well
We can learn to love and honour the differences of others
It doesn’t require much thought
We all have pain - we all want it to be soothed - acknowledged
That is the spider’s web we all climb and fall, climb and fall from
It is best not to linger in the past
Rather, to keep walking, tiny steps at a time - move forward
If we are lucky there will be even more kindness on the path
Or maybe our own hearts will change into a lucky, green clover.
What a beautifully positive reflection! And very persuasive,
ReplyDeleteI love this Beautiful truth spoken

ReplyDeleteWe can hope for peace...maybe that will make it come true!
ReplyDelete"It doesn’t require much thought" reminds me of the saying that it takes more effort to frown than smile. It takes more effort to hate. Nice one Jae 👏
