This poem is about overcoming anger with kindness. How a child can show adults how to overcome their anger and hate.
Day-211 “A Simple Kiss” There’s a weed in my back yard It’s tall and lanky It’s black, mean and ugly I’ve chopped it down three times today each time I turn it flares up again and again As I was scratching my head wondering what to do along came a little boy with a candy cane smile Howdy Mr. Smith! I see you’ve been working hard today just, what is it you are trying to do? I’m trying to rid my yard of this pesky o’l weed I’ve chopped it down three times today each time I turn it flares up again and again With a twinkle in his eye and a grin on his face He said. I betcha I can rid it from your yard? Would you let me give it a try? Sure said I If you do I’ll give you a smile With that the little boy with the candy cane smile ran to my back yard and planted a kiss on that ugly o’l weed To my utter amazement it wilted and died right there on the spot My Goodness! Said I How on earth did you do that? What is this magic you possess? Where upon the little boy with the candy cane smile Said You kill hate with kindness Mr. Smith Now, may I have my smile?
