Presenting Poetry, September Edition

 It's time again for a Presenting Poetry post! Hopefully you are still enjoying these. :) I've tried to pick a variety of topics for the poems, but sometimes they're rather similar. Anyway, this month's poem is called "Kind Thoughts".

Kind Thoughts

Kind thoughts are like seeds,

For out of them grow

Kind words and kind deeds;

But first you must sow

A kind thought so deep

In your mind and heart

That nothing can tear

Such a kind thought apart.

Each seed must be watered

Or else it will die,

And so must each kind thought

As each day goes by.

If you water each kind thought

With much love each day

Kind words and kind deeds

Will soon blossom your way.

I think this poem is a good reminder of the kind thoughts and deeds that we should be doing each and every day. It's great to have kind thoughts, but we need to actually do them! I do that a lot- I think of something that I could do to bless someone else, but then I don't actually go and do it. 

This poem reminded me that I need to be doing as well as thinking kind thoughts and deeds for others.

So the next tine you think of something kind you can do for someone else, do it!

Whether it's in the blogging world (such as leaving a comment on someone's blog) or in your home(like helping a younger sibling), let's be blessings to others. It can be a challenge at times, but it's worth it! And of course, we shouldn't do it to get things in return, but when we do do kind deeds, they always come back in some way or another! 

What are your thoughts about this poem? Have you ever head it before? 

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!
