A Smile Cast

Gentle acts of kindness change the path of man
spirals sing of virtue unwritten laws and games
rage rage against the bitter twisted lives

A smile cast on winters day reveals warmer songs
a mothers touch a sons remorse the winter lingers on
gentle acts of kindness change the path of man

The bitter past with bridges built can teach a broken man
with strength he learns to listen and build a better plan
rage rage against the bitter twisted lives

With help and education the angers gone my friend
a winters day is broken with a Milo and a friend
gentle acts of kindness can change the path of man

We walk along a summers beach enjoy the plays we planned
we drink and watch the sports relax the futures in our hands
rage rage against the bitter twisted lives 

With friendship we build lives to live and summer dreams to share
with friendship we build roads to walk and knowledge gets us there 
Gentle acts of kindness change the path of man
rage rage against the bitter twisted lives.

Typo last line too Bernard & you do need periods at the end of the sentences IF you are going to capitalize the 1st word - just keep polishing the gem, I'm judging now. ;)
