To Be Kind

The hill is high for all of us Who must climb and try not to fuss The days we live weave in and out And fall like water from a spout When night arrives upon our step It’s time to rest without regret Look back on the day with a smile For everything seen in a mile Keep the beauty around your wrist Gently to hold without a fist To be kind is a way to know You have risen above the show Heidi Sands Placed 6th in Contest: No 230
