A Giving Heart

Kindness is easy to give when

the heart is open.

Looking past, looking above

Looking through to the causes

of others calamities and suffering.

Understanding that all persons struggle

at some time in their life

and that the struggle

simply is.

It matters not the causes, the rights or wrongs

Nor the blame

Just that they struggle.

Kindness will soothe the pain and invite a

Rising to their better selves.

Compassion expressed will provide a balm

to close the wound

and  allow a regeneration.

It is so easy, why do we have so little of it

In the World.

It costs nothing, and benefits the giver

So Greatly.

Where are our giving Hearts?
