Be Kind…A Poem.
BE KIND
What does it mean to be kind,
Do you know it in your mind?
Is it something said or seen,
Tell me now, what does it mean?
To help someone on this day,
Is surely kind, I do say.
To be asked, please do not wait,
Go help out, before too late.
Lift up someone you see fall,
Speak nice words, but that’s not all.
Give your time and stop to chat,
It’s not too hard to do that.
Mostly we do like to say,
Kindness doesn’t come my way,
Why should I be kind at all?
Hey! Let kindness grow, not stall.
Whatever comes, please be kind,
Let other things go behind.
With a smile be kind today,
And spread some kindness every day!

Well, the way I see it, it’s like this, now if you look at it this way then it’s like that, but now if you look at that way it’s like this, so then what I see is that when you look at something that way it will always be like this so if you don’t look at things that way then it really won’t be until you do.
