Poetry is Power: The reminder of the wind

Wind blows through the trees,

The leafless branches sway,

As chickadees fly over to them,

Flapping their little wings using the winds.

 

Wind blows the snow,

Across frozen lakes,

The ice clear as glass,

Little snowflakes sparkling,

As the wind blows them further.

 

Wind blows kindness everywhere,

It is here to help,

From person to person,

Animal to animal,

The wind blows kindness,

As a little reminder.

 

The wind tells us that, 

It is important to spread love,

It is important to spread joy,

Listen to the wind’s little reminders,

Spread kindness everywhere every day.
