Grace and Kindness
Grace and kindness in the air.
See compassion everywhere.
Find it on the boughs of trees:
birds build homes for families,
and they bring home food to share.
See light, goodness everywhere.
Grace and kindness on the ground.
Feel attachment all around.
Mother cat purrs in her bed.
to her kittens, washed and fed,
while they're blind and deaf to sound.
Feel snug, softness all around.
Grace and kindness on the sea.
Join love universally.
Linking paws, sea otters float,
mother makes herself a boat,
letting pup ride carelessly.
Join close universally.
Grace and kindness from Allah.
He sends love each place we are.
Parents feed their babes at night,
soothe them gently, hug them tight.
glow affection, like a star.
Be the bright, warm souls we are.
