"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 !
