Be Kind Quotes In a world where you can be anything, be kind. | Kindness quotes, Being kind quotes positivity, Inspirational quotes

"Inspiration Quote #3 - Forget injuries, never forget kindness." My mom was the kindest person I ever knew, she and my dad instilled this quality in me: and though at times difficult I was kindly as I grew, I appreciate that those teachings were the key; now, I am a friend faithful and true ! Like two streams flowing and connected, all relationships need a meeting of one on one: any conflict needs attention to be corrected, a get together talk will clear the issues until done; gently, a solution with each respected ! My dad told me to walk away from a fight, he said the stronger person should turn away: and no matter what always be kind and polite. create a confluence of talking as the way; and by being kind I can sleep at night ! It does not cost anything to be kind, and is healthier than holding onto strife: not all will like me so to that I am resigned, I remove the hurt by removing the knife: and let kindness bring me peace of mind !

Constance, love your message here. The third stanza in your rhyme is about your dad's teaching. Nicely done, great injection of values of your father. Bringing this piece with kind-heartedness is wisdom in itself. Great penning and great crafting of poetry. Warm Regards, William

Constance, it sounds like you were lucky to have your mom and dad for parents, and your friends are lucky to have you as a friend. Lots of good messages in your poem. BTW, I created a poem (Zephyr) for your contest, but was just looking at the contests I entered, and realized, that, while I wrote, the poem, I forgot the part about entering the contest!

Such a lovely, inspiring read dear Constance full of loving wisdom. I love, ‘ I appreciate that those teachings were the key’ ‘ I remove the hurt by removing the knife’. Such important and valuable life lessons here to behold always. Peace of mind is essential to navigate through our lives and sleep restfully at night. Your beloved parents must have been very special soul’s indeed. Hugs and blessings to you dear Constance xx

You are absolutely right, dear Constance. Holding grudge to people will destroy our peace of mind. By forgiving, we turn our enemies into friends. The lessons of forgiveness and kindness you learnt from your parents will definitely keep you in the right track. This beautifully rhyming poem contains valuable lessons of conduct.

Valsa, thank you for the wonderful comment, as an adult I truly appreciate the lessons my parents taught me about being kind and polite, and having compassion for all people, and every living thing, plants, flowers, animals, birds, fish etc etc, Constance

So true dear constance, in a world that is bitter and cold we can only be kind and it costs nothing to be kind, a language it is, shared from heart to heart, even the blind and deaf can feel kindness. I really love this poem and love how youv used the river line too. Your parents do sound like wise and beautiful souls that taught you so well. I absolutely loved this one! Best wishes for the contest dear constance! A fave this is for me. Sending you light always
