Being Kind

~ It’s not that hard to just be kind to everyone you meet While shopping at the grocery store or walking down the street Just wish someone a happy day then wait a little while And you will see before too long they’re sure to wear a smile Now lend someone a helping hand when you see they are down Show them that you truly care and wash away their frown When being nice to everyone I know that you will find Each day will bring a better you when you are being kind

I like this poem a lot. It does make your day when you can be kind and reach out to someone even if it's just an e-mail or sending them a card. Life is too short for all the mean-spiritedness going on in our country now. Very good poem and excellent rhyme scheme. Celine Rose Mariotti

I agree. "When being nice to everyone I know that you will find Each day will bring a better you when you are being kind" We need to lead with concern, kindness and listen to each other. Thank you for sharing the excellent words and thoughts shared.

You have always been kind to me. I wish you would write some music to this. I wrote a little poem with you in mind not long ago, but it was a dub. You're one of the best! Congratulations.
