A Kind Word

Kindness, a virtue so rare,

A trait that should be beyond compare,

It's the little things that make a big difference,

A smile, a touch, a word of persistence.

It's the way you treat others with respect,

 It's the way you make them feel,

 It's the way you lend a helping hand,

 It's the way you give without demands.

It's the way you listen with an open heart,

 It's the way you show that you care,

It's the way you spread joy and love,

 It's the way you rise above.

So let's all strive to be kind,

 In every thought, word, and deed,

For when we are kind to one another,

We plant the seeds of love and joy, now and forever.
