Contest winning poem - I am as the gentle breeze that blows across the lands
I am as the gentle breeze that blows across the lands,
A fair spirit dancing in the clouds and in the sands.
Gently touching and caressing each and every life I meet,
Searching all the new cultures and people that I greet.

Learning from those who come into my life each day,
Touching each soul in a special and precious way.
Over flowing with joy and kindness this is what I offer you.
I give to you my love and friendship, this is what I do.

Each feeling and emotion comes directly from my heart.
No ill intentions are a part of me, you should know from the start.
My life has been hard and troubled; this is why my heart is good.
I reach out to all the people no matter what; I do not want to be misunderstood.

Quietly gathering my friends as leaves scattered across the ground.
I want you all close to me, to keep you safe and all around.
I have a sympathetic ear for everyone, or so I try.
I will wash away your tears and listen as you cry.

Gentle kisses I will blow to you and give you a happy smile.
I will laugh with you and at your jokes all the while.
My kindness is a rare and special gift,
I want to reach out to you and all your spirits lift.

Come take my hand and walk with me to a different beat,
On the shores of foreign lands, this is where we will meet.
We will come together and rejoice our new found friendship,
As we open our heart to each other in our loving kinship.

I am the gentle breeze blowing through and touching all your lives.
My goal is to make you smile, lift your spirits, and your soul revive.
I will teach you of love and kindness with respect and understanding.
I will never judge you for what you do but love you from where your heart is standing.

I am the gentle breeze blowing in the wind,
When the air is still I will be that refreshing breath upon your skin.
Remember always my love and kindness coming from my heart.
I will always be your friend to the end, right from the start.
