Kindness

My kindness to you is like water
It can seep through the tiniest crack
Extinguish the words of any hater
Whether you are white or black 

It can seep through the tiniest crack
This love I have for humankind
Whether you are white or black 
Makes no difference in my mind

This love I have for humankind
Motivates me to keep on giving
It makes no difference in my mind
What you have or do for a living

It motivates me to keep on giving
I seem gentle but am up to par
What you have or do for a living
Doesn't make you less of a star

I seem gentle but am up to par
My kindness to you is like water
It doesn't make you less of a star
To extinguish the words of any hater
