I Can Practice Being Kind...
Before venturing into 3WW.. let me write a Haiku for SiS's Challenge..
Mom still holds me tight
In her heart, now that she lives
And glows in my heart..
Written for 3WW... Blink, Kind, Occasion..
Life In a Blink...
Life in a blink, God
Help me be kind even on
Occasions unkind...
*****
I Can Practice Being Kind..
Ah, I can keep on talking
And talking without a blink
Listening is so very hard
I am always on a brink
Nothing wrong if on occasions
I can practice being kind
By listening and helping one
Throw garbage out of one’s mind
Ah, to nurture cleaner minds
What else would be a kinder deed
God , let me never blink to lend my ear
To whosoever is in need, indeed
For that’s the gift I have been receiving
From many a kinder heart
Who make their presence felt around
In spite of living distances apart..
