Be Kind and Compassionate

B-Be careful how you choose your words and tone of voice.
    E-Encouraging someone is far better than to put them down.

   K-Keep track on those who you know need an ear or maybe a prayer to 
   hear.
   I-Inspire them always with an inspirational quote or wise words.
   N-Never surrender on giving up on someone who goes astray, just keep on 
   pray.
   D-Dark days can happen to anyone, so if you can be there for someone.

   A-Always keep an open hand for giving and not just for receiving.
   N-Never judge a book by its cover, we all need each other.
   D-Do what you can for a friend who is in need, if it’s your help they seek.

   C-Check in on those you did not hear from, to find how they do,
   O-Often people don’t want to burden you.
   M-Make an effort to go visit someone who is sick or bereaved,
   P-Perhaps your company and conversation is all they need.
   A-Address everyone with respect and dignity,
   S-Shows them we all deserve equality.
   S-Smile when you greet a stranger, who knows in future they might return 
   the favor.
   I-Invite a friend for a cup of tea or a walk at the beach,
   O-Often it is all they need to break free from a,
   N-Normal routine of misery and pain.
   A-Affection and compassion are good for the heart and brain.
   T-Take some time also to spoil you,
   E-Every one of us deserves a day to feel blue.
