Great Kindness Poem by Norah Tunney
Great Kindness
When I look into your face
and see
the sadness
behind your smile
great kindness fills me
and the grief
of the whole world
mingles through mine
To feel another's pain hurts. You want to mend their sadness, You feel every ache. There is too much heartache out there. Thank You Norah
Life is so short In the end kindness is all that truly matters Thank you Lyn
I am reading Oliver twist. A slow but touching journey. The great kindness so alien to him. A tale of decency and greed, the polar extremes and we earthly travelers live somewhere in between, The sadness behind the smile, so often self-inflicted if only by caring too much.....subtle beauty so lovingly revealed.
It's a long time since I read Dickens. It was a tough world he grew up in. It's interesting how another's sadness can spark our own especially when we have had a recent grief experience. It leaves us more vulnerable and open to the pain of others. Thank you Edmund for your perceptive input.
