I hope I don't scare anyone here...lol

Rid the negative waves... Hold tight...the torch that brightens the dungeons of darkness Open the windows to sunshine and let the warmth breeze in... No room for the cold The fiery cellars that entrap your soul...extinguish them forever Ya know, a little kindness never hurts If you defer, even Satan himself might show some kindness... When he greets you with open arms You've got it, god gave it...now use it Share it with others and let them share it with you...

I second Carolyn's comment about the line, "You've got it, god gave it...now use it." That about sums up 'kindness,' the greatest quality. :) gw
