Shinsetsu

"Seek the light, seek the joy",

The old man he said. 

What is joy for a poor little boy,

Who is lost, alone and afraid?

Vast is the world for the boy to play,

Tender still his heart, too much in pain.

He's a jolly lad, the people did say,

To show his other half, he did refrain .

The world doth see the light,

Never the shadow the light forms;

Nor the long fought battles, the lost fights,

The ravaging winds and the brutal storms.

If ever you meet someone today,

BE KIND. 

Kindness does a thousand words say,

All we need is a wee bit of kindness. 

Eventide
