Xenial (hospitable)

A xenial host opens their doors along with their hearts

Their table and homes always welcome

Be you a friend or a total stranger

They give unconditionally and generously

An enviable trait to emulate if we can

Find that generosity of spirit in us

W

Wisdom and sagacity are found in a few

It has not much to do with age

You can meet a stupid old person

Or a young sage in your life journey

Strive to attain wisdom as it is one asset

That makes steering our ship through

Life’s turbulent waters, a little bit easier

V

Venerable

I wish I would fall into this category

But I know someone who was

My late father was respected by all who knew him

He was that sort of person who always kind

Gentle with everyone and concerned too

We need people like him to be our role models

U

Uplifting words and ideas

Scatter them like flower petals

Into the universe, be the inspiration

It is easy to pull people down, to demoralize them

It is a true art to pick up the fallen souls

With your uplifting words of encouragement

T

Tolerance is a strength

It makes things bearable

Life is not a breeze ever

But being intolerant makes

Things much more harder

When things get tough for you

Take a deep breath and say to self

It is alright, I can take this with a smile

S

Smile

A smile shared is joy shared

Distribute smiles like gifts

To one and all, to friends and strangers

It is acknowledged of our common bond

A sharing of happy thoughts

Smile and the world will smile with you

Q

Quixotic are the ideals

Which I chase in my dreams

I envision a world where we all are

Kind and generous

Brave and chivalrous

Gentle and tolerant

When awake, I think

Will this ever be a reality?
