WHEN KINDNESS GREETS

Its reality is awesome


Its gifts are highly priced


Its losses are colossal


Its pangs most excruciating.






When it beckons, the greatest bow


When it resonates, the bravest reels


When it shouts, the orator stutters


Such is the might of kindness.






In packages of paper, gold is wrapped


The careless, never notice it


The anxious never perceive it


But the patient waits and takes.






The kind hearted are always cherished


Their virtues envied


Their love savored with sweetness


But such hearts are rare to find.






Your kindness would forever resonate


The great and the small would honor you for it


But always the stories of your kindness


My lips would never cease to tell


(Written in Honor of Dillina Nnabuife)
