Five Gifts of Kindness (Poem)

I have been once told by one to be kind always

Motivated to be like one to be worthy of praise

Yet I beg to disagree for kindness is not a right

Just for other's desire, approval and delight

The world though is full of chaos and rudeness

That being good to others sounds like madness

Thus seldom a person has genuine care for one

Or acceptance regardless what other had done

Kindness should never be just given but earned

Like attention should freely given, heads turned

Be nice to others, stop all this cruel blindness

Hence here are five presents as act of kindness

First, individuals establish rapport to build trust

Obviously confidence on one another is a must

But trust never needs to be perfect at the start

Just feel comfortable with each other by heart

One could be naive to reveal secrets well-kept

Quite uncertain what reactions one could get

Trust is declaration of vulnerability keep in mind

Hoping secrets enemies could never even find

Some would relate trust with full transparency

But folk aren't trustworthy, here is no warranty

Yet, it only requires mutual acts of vulnerability

Simply give and take to acquire such credibility

Second gift involves a valuable resource, time.

Spending time is as difficult as long, hard climb

Allocating time for someone is worthy as gold

Precious, irreplaceable, one should dearly hold

Depriving someone of this means non-essential

Reflects one is worthless and inconsequential

Postponing one gives an idea of one's priorities

Illustrates how others value someone's qualities

Time and effort must be not given to everyone

Nor entitled to someone, so bestowed to none

Because in life, some serve no purpose at all

Be wary, or else this will set about own downfall

Third act of kindness revolves mutual respect.

Due regard of feelings for people to connect

Good behavior is needed, as well as moral tact

Because we all differ on how talk, think and act

The lack of respect essentially sparks conflicts

Notably when one plays mind games and tricks

Thus a two-way understanding is a must first

All the built trust and rapport will be reversed

Respect is tried and tested on our differences

During instances we must keep our distances

Tolerating disagreements, gaps time and again

It is actually not based on our similiarities then

Recognition is the fourth best gift one can get

Who a person truly is something one could bet

Acknowledging their true self, not to stray afar

Thus this pertains to accepting one as they are

But this actually requires acceptance at least

Relentless til other's self-confidence increased

Assuring one's thoughts, opinions conferred

It is simply listening to who needs to be heard

Also paying attention to what have been said

That words are interpreted well, and not misled

Keeping track until the time of biding goodbye

In short, maintaining the level of interest at high

Last but not the least is unconditional support

Assisting minus expecting in return to cut short

It isn't superficial by just doing things together

But helping another whatever in any weather

Support is being there at most in times of need

Not just in sunny days nor when one succeed

Providing everything just like our own matriach

Essentially being present when things get dark

So it isn't measured by number of hours spent

Or all the feasts and pleasures both underwent

However tested by the experienced challenges

Both of your regarded prized needs balances

In time, I learned something about these five

These to be given but not oneself to deprive

Never give them to anyone who isn't deserving

Typically those manipulative and self-serving

Never waste time with who never appreciates it

Chiefly those promises they can't even commit

For chasing a selfish idiot is acting like a moron

Should someone value you less, then move on

There is no point of being kind to those unkind

No bad conscience for your own peace of mind

Concentrate to those who care for you in real.

From them trust, love, security you could feel.
