Kindness

The quiet whisper of thanks

The honest reply of 'I'm not okay'

Kindness

The hugging of friends

The empathy of wanting to help

Kindness

The picking up of trash

The simplicity of giving

Kindness

The cleaning up around you

The golden, loving heart

Kindness

Sometimes I wonder

If anyone has any at all

Kindness

But then I see the small boy

Picking up after his little sister

Kindness

The tired girl

Helping the old man

Kindness

The spent mother giving

To the homeless by her work

Kindness

But if everyone gave a little bit

And helped a little more

Kindness

Maybe we'd find a will

To live a little longer

Kindness

Will be our defeat

Or will it be our saving grace?
