A Sonata to Kind People

Far away from home
Amidst sub-zero weather,
Feeling rather cold
And a bit homesick,
I think of the people
Who've been kind to me
Either in words or in deeds
To bring me warmth and comfort.

I feel blithesome and grateful
To have had such wonderful people
Bringing me kindness.
Which I'm unable to reciprocate
I can only play a sonata in my heart
To remember them with fondness
And everlasting gratitude
Praying for God's blessings on them.

Kindness, I've discovered, is everything in life.
