Gentleness Comments

Gentleness comes from the soul and permeates our entire beings when we allow it to. It is a genuine strength in the weakness of the human being. Being seen when a mother holds a newborn baby, as a new father looks with wonder at his first child, when children play together, when a person reaches out to unselfishly help another in need. This poem brings out the simplicity of being gentle. Love it! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

Wow, this is so beautifully said, superb poem. The wisdom expressed here completely in line my most internal convictions.

A nice tribute to an underestimated virtue in the world of cruelty! Long live truly gentle men and women, and you the poet of gentleness!

Beautifully written sir...the metaphors- priceless gem, diamond, fountain of nobility............thanks for sharing sir

It is so easy to be cruel and mean, but it takes strength to be gentle A soft touch is much more effective. excellent penning

I liked the way you have structured the poem. A praiseworthy endeavor!

So so true and eloquently flowed... and sometimes being gentle takes far more strength than is believable...probably one of my favourite words which i truly aspire to having the grace to forward..tyvm karen

Gosh, I love this one. It's honest and raw. Great job.

Yes i can relate if only everyone were so....so the gentle among us would not be thought of weak and used.... but without kindness what a world it would be

Being a gentle person myself, i can relate to the words of this poem. in our society, gentleness if often mistaken for weakness.

Yes... it is in gentleness and kindness that truly prevails in life; not cruelty and brutality. Wonderful thoughts there with an equally wonderful rhyming scheme.

it is in gentleness that wise men walk... you speak the truth.
