The quality that exudes divine grace Displaying class and high social station A blessing to every people and nation To be kind, amorous, and amiable Sociable, congenial, and agreeable Behaving and speaking honorable Full of heart, empathy, and feeling Free from sternness and harshness Soft, delicate, moderate, with sense Emotions harnessed without violence Tempered, subdued, and chivalrous Tender in the midst of a loud fuss Keeping perspective despite chaos Intuitive in the midst of gossip porous Believing the best and extending mercy Giving to humanity the freedom to be The freedom to come to self-discovery Awake, become self-aware, and evolve Before speaking prematurely to dissolve Meaningful relations and pleasant people Gentleness remains calm and climbs higher Ascending the scales and heights of honor Hearing the heart of the Almighty always Before rendering an opinion most deadly Before alienating the wounded unnecessarily Endearing, embracing, and encouraging all Gentleness nurtures and makes one stand tall Despite the circumstances and many setbacks Gentleness nourishes and does help get back All that was suddenly lost and shamefully stolen Gentleness imparts life and mightily renews Heals hurts and removes memories of abuse Silences accusations and tendencies to accuse Gentleness silences negatives and does refuse To be contaminated and polluted by a short fuse Calming the nerves ready to blow up and explode Gentleness saves our character before it erodes Gentleness is a gateway to the good and divine Therefore before you're tempted to react next time Open your heart to gentleness and its calm sublime.
