Serving Up Kindness
(a cento)
I heard one calling, Child!
And I replied My
Lord.
Love is unselfish,
understanding and kind,
For it sees with its Heart
and not with its Mind
Stop to cheer a fellow
human
that's a bit worse off
than you.
If I can stop one heart
from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
The two kinds of people on
earth I mean,
Are the people who lift and the people who lean.
Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many.
(Lines from George Herbert,
Helen Steiner Rice, Roy Neal, Emily Dickinson, Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, Matthew 20:28)
