Kindness In this world of dream-time passing… (Like the fine white clouds of summer) we shall ultimately leave no traces lingering to greet another spring; only the grandest wisdom of humble kindness stands… to travel down the endless path of years. ---b. e. adams (5/20/08) |

One of the greatest gifts - if not the greatest - and one that everyone without exception can give at any and all moments - is kindness. Thank you for reminding us. - Owl |

A profound thank you to all who commented on this (and other) of my 'poems'... This 'penning' was my 350th...perhaps it is high time to quit?! |
