Blessed Are You, The Kind Hearted Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

"Blessed are the merciful"
Have a deep concern
for the welfare of others,
to become generous,
open-hearted and open-handed.

"The pure in heart are blessed, "
describing the ability to approach
all people free from duplicitous
motives, free of self-serving.

"Peacemakers are blessed.
they're nothing less than
the children of God."

Peacemaking is the ability
to be candid, constructive,
and caring; to pursue peace
in a world that is full of war,
dissension, conflicts and arguments.

"Those who are persecuted are blessed."
It is a call to have joyful
purposefulness finding
courage in affliction,
finding perseverance
in opposition.

These are wonderful traits.
These are the traits of leadership
and loving fruitfulness.

(Ref: The Sermon on the Mount of Jesus. Mahatma Gandhi was very much influenced by these ideas to form his art of Nonviolence) .
