kindness

Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits,

Take care of your garden and keep out the weeds,

fill it with flowers,

kind words and kind deeds.

Henry W. Longfellow

I've just returned from three days with my father, sister and a lovely step-sister in Nashville. These lines by Longfellow are perfect companions for what I experienced. More to come. 

(Thank you, Donna Boucher, whose blog I enjoy.

She shared these words of Longfellow.)
