"I use my charm to stay out of danger / As the angels watch over me all night"


Poem Artwork

My Religion is Kindness

My poems are written as therapy
I send them to my doctor every day
Only he knows what might be wrong with me
Or right so it is not for me to say

I just know I like to write and drink tea
And I hope that handyman stays away
Since he was altogether too handy
I did all the work myself anyway
But my tenants could crush him easily
Defending their landlord muscularly

I may be strange yet there are still stranger
People out there who cannot even write
I use my charm to stay out of danger
As the angels watch over me all night

I am a blend of English and German
Cultures and something of a hothouse flower
An extremely curious Lutheran
And getting more curious by the hour
But never mind that now I talk too much
Leave it at this as the finishing touch:

"My religion is kindness"
The Dalai Lama said
The cruel live in blindness
I will be kind instead

Tea. Writing. Multi-ethnic. Kindness. And for me as a Christian, sacrifice to find worth in every living soul, even if they don't see it themselves. This is very pleasant and basic Bro Steven. . . just like an act of kindness.

So kind of you to write it. . .blessins'
