Just Be Nice
I remember being given some simple advice.
It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
Can I ask that you just hold this thought?
And give me time, whilst I retaught.
In a world where kindness can blossom and thrive.
Where a simple smile can change a life.
Stay humble, smile often, keep honest, be kind.
To see acts of kindness it still blows my mind.
You only keep what you've got by giving it away.
So sharing is caring, these words I convey.
Where trust is gained and loyalty returned.
And honesty is appreciated, and respect is earned.
Be grateful for everything I have and everything i know.
Makes everything I am, and everything I show.
So in acts of compassion, with truth in my mind.
Through laughter and tears and struggles, we find.
With each time I show kindness and self sacrifice.
I am reminded again that it's nice to be nice.
