Goodness: The Light That Shines Within Us

Embracing the Power of Kindness, Love, and Compassion

By David ChangPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Goodness is the light that shines so bright,

Guiding us through the darkest of nights.

It warms our hearts, and makes us whole,

Filling our lives with joy untold.

It's in the smile of a stranger we meet,

Or in the kindness of a friend on the street.

It's in the selfless act of a helping hand,

Or in the way we forgive and understand.

Goodness is the love that we give,

The compassion we show, so others may live.

It's in the gentle words that we speak,

And the hope we offer, to those who are weak.

It's the beauty that we find in the world,

The simple pleasures that we cherish and hold.

It's the laughter that we share with our kin,

And the memories that we create within.

Goodness is the light that shines within us,

A reflection of the divine and glorious.

It's the essence of what makes us human,

And the pathway to a life truly fulfilling.

So let us embrace goodness with open hearts,

And spread its magic in every corner and part.

For in goodness, we find the truest of joys,

And the beauty of life that never destroys.
