Kindness
It starts in the heart, passes through the mouth and warms someone’s heart of stone
It can heal on old nasty wound
Which they received while they had grown
Words as sharp as glass cutting in too deep in their heart
They carry the burden of belief that they are unimportant
But we can change that with just a few words
It’s more than deeds,
Words and actions
It must take full effort and not a fraction
The manner in which you look at someone and think about feelings and needs
We all go through sorrows and strife
But kindness can change a life
So use words wisely and never forget,
We all need a pick me up every now and then
So pick each other up and brush each other off
Because even if we are hanging on by a tether
We are all in this crazy life together.
