Love will always find the kind
I have visited misery
Floated on a sea of tears
Ached to slip into eternal slumber
Wished for just a chance
All fell in vain
For all it took
Was an act of kindness
A shift from the centre
Time for another
Given as a gift
No interest payable
The ledger personified love
Delivered in abundance
As the given is received
Trust in kind-heartedness
And love will find your door
-Camille Delaquise
