Kindness should be simply given out and simply met,
Tainted not by stains of shame, encumbrance, or regret,
Dwelling not and fast forgotten, quick, concise and brief,
Lest both sides be punished for the generosity.

Bad news somehow always seems to catch us unawares,
Every time misfortune interrupts our grand designs,
But instead of dwelling on how life is so unfair,
Should we not expect receipt of sorrow half the time?
Life delivers mirth and mayhem hopelessly conjoined.
Highs are counterbalanced by those moments which are low.
Should we not regard each day the flipping of a coin?
Then perhaps ill tidings would not disappoint us so.
