Every seed of kindness
That you plant today
Will one day
Be a bouquet
That they'll lay
Upon your grave
For no one is loved
For the money that they've made
No one is remembered
For the people they've betrayed
It is your thoughtfulness
And kindness
That will live
When you are gone
This is so true, because everything seems to circle and come back around to us, (hopefully arriving as a kindness in turn, just in the nick of time) . Good to know, isn't it, that the good parts are what live on and are remembered. I love that quote that goes, nobody ever wishes they'd spent more hours at work, on their deathbed..it is so, so true!
Wow, Anabel, Super, fantastic, I do not know which superlative to use first. I like this poem, no I love this poem very much. It contains such a deep truth. Seeds of kindness.
