Glimmer of Benevolence



Kindness is a virtue, a beacon of hope,
That shines within our hearts, like a gentle light,
Guiding us through the darkness, where we might
Lose sight of all that is good, in this world of strife.
For kindness is the antidote to life’s eternal night,
A flame that dispels the shadows, and brings peace to sight.

It is the essence of our humanity, an inner sight,
That allows us to see beyond the veil of pain and strife,
And to look upon our fellow beings with love and light,
Embracing them with open arms, in a gesture of kindness.
For kindness knows no boundaries, it transcends all life,
And enriches our souls, with its gentle and warm delight.

The power of kindness is beyond measure, a delight
That has the ability to heal even the deepest strife,
And to bring solace to those who dwell in life’s eternal night.
For kindness is a balm, that soothes the soul and soothes the sight,
And illuminates the path, to the very heart of light.

It is the silent whisper, that guides us through life’s strife,
A voice that whispers, in the darkness, “Do not lose sight,
For kindness is the key, to unlocking the door of light.”
For kindness is a gift, that we can give to others with delight,
And in doing so, we shall find, that our own souls ignite.

Kindness is the light, that illuminates life’s strife,
A beacon that guides us, on our journey to the very sight
Of the truth, and of all that is good, in this world of night.
For kindness is the key, that opens the door to inner light,
And transforms our souls, with its gentle and warm delight.

It is a power that can change the world, with a single sight,
A force that can move mountains, with its gentle might.
For kindness is the foundation, upon which all life is built right,
And in spreading it far and wide, we shall vanquish the strife.

And though the world may be cruel, and the path may be rough with strife,
The power of kindness, shall conquer all, in the end with sight.
For it is the light, that illuminates the way, through life’s night,
And shines a beam of hope, upon the hearts of all in sight.

It is the wisdom of the ages, that shines so bright,
And the essence of what it means, to be human with all our might.
For kindness is the legacy, that we leave behind, in our sight,
And the gift, that we can offer, to others, in this world of life.

In the end, we shall find, that kindness is the key to life,
A treasure, more precious than gold, and more valuable than sight.
For it is the light, that guides us, through the darkness of night,
And the power that vanquishes, all strife, with its gentle might.

So let us embrace kindness, and nurture it with all our might,
And let its light, shine forth, in all that we do and in all our sight.
For it is the key, to unlocking the secrets of life,
And the foundation, upon which, a world of peace and joy is built with sight.
