For Being Kind

For Being Kind
Of the many friends I’ve treasured –
Those who’ve lived the longest time
Are the ones who were the kindest
With their gifts of heart and mind ;
Never selfish; Never greedy ;
Never sparing loving care ;
Aways sharing of harvests
And the fortunes of their prayers.

They were ,always busy people –
Helping others with their needs –
And, forever , sowing kindness
In their acts of Christian deeds ;
None were , ever rich or noble –
Or possessed of master minds;
They were only humble people ,
God had blessed for being kind .
