The best of it is, kindness costs nothing and can make someones day. It makes you feel good too. Tom

I agree with you Tom...where would any of us be without kindness, both given and received.

Kindness is good at anytime. This poem makes a plea for thoughtfulness during the world's upheavals and cruelty. I hope people can come together.
