Be Kind

Kindness truly

can bring light,

like a beacon

on the darkest night, 

crinkled eyes 

from a genuine smile,

and a loving heart,

makes life feel worthwhile,

it can change a heart,

from black to bright,

heal a wound,

fix a fight,

being kind matters,

it can change a life,

heal cutting words,

that feel sharp as a knife.

I love you,

is easy to say,

but when it comes to kindness 

It can only be shown,

a light brighter than

you've ever known.

it can take away sadness,

and replace it with joy,

bring laughter,

bring hope,

and darkness

... destroy.

If kindness was given freely,

generously shared round, 

a nicer World,

we all would find. 

Bitterness and hate,

would be a thing of the past,

hope, love, laughter 

would truly last.

Kindness shows,

it beams,

it glows.

when it's shared,

it grows and grows.

A kind heart,

is richer than gold,

it can't be bought,

it can't be sold.

It doesn’t cost a penny,

it can be shared with many,

when love and kindness,

go hand in hand,

hearts grow bigger,

and stronger we stand.
