While kindness truly does not require magic spells, it really is quite magical. It can make an elder smile or a baby giggle. It is the simple act of showing love.
Humanity needs to share more smiles, create more laughs, show more love
Happy World Kindness Day!! ❤️

A sudden breeze, took me by surprise
I let go, my heart, set free
I watched it sail, into the sky
Til I could no longer see
Into the wind, it wallowed
Enjoying the ride, while I cursed
I stood there hoping it would return to me
For I knew, at some point, it would burst
A tear fell from my cheek
As I watched it slip away
I wore my heart out on my sleeve
On that very fateful day
When I lost the only thing I knew
My tears, now overflowing
I am left to find, what I could never replace
And I sigh with the winds, still blowing

A drop of blood, from my thumb
The prickle of a thorn
The crimson flows, a steady stream
From where the flesh is torn
In the quiet, far off distance
A wolf bays as if he knows
The still of night has called me
And I watch, as full moon grows
Reaching out to gather
What is left of me, I fear
I throw myself into the pitch
So he won’t find me here
But alas, I’ve lost my freedom
To the one who rules the night
The blood of wolves, my reckoning
Beneath the full moon light

They claim that curiosity
Is not too kind to kitty
Seems most humans don’t know much
Yes, the cat is clever, and witty
Curiosity knows nothing
About our inquisitive feline friends
They have nine lives, no more, no less
Their story just transcends
Their truly natural instincts
Are what cause them most dismay
But there is just one more thing
That keeps them most at bay
A kitty’s life may vary
All depends on who they own
That’s right, no human ever
Sat upon their kitty’s throne
For your cat’s the boss, no doubt
Tis why they strut around the house
Aloof, is their demeanor
While they’re stalking that damn mouse
So let them do as they deem right
Lest they label you a rat
Perhaps, it’s then, you’ll realize
Curiosity, never killed the cat
