Kindness

It's the people that we meet 
And the memories we make along the way
That makes our lives worth living
Each and every day

If we see a lonely soul
As on our way we go
It doesn't take much effort
For you to say hello

Say to them `have a nice day'
And really hope they do
And if they say it back
It makes you feel good too

Try to lend a helping hand
In any way you can
One good turn deserves another
From our fellow man

If you are taken for granted
And constantly go out of your way
To make others lives easier
But your favours they don't repay

Remind them who was there for them
When they were in their hour of need
With no roof over their heads
And with tiny mouths to feed

They'll tend to have a short memory
And forget everything that you've done
If you let them stress you out
They'll think that they have won

So give out your favours wisely
And be careful who you trust
And make sure your enemies know
That you have got them sussed

So cherish the good people that you meet
And the memories that you make along the way
And make your life worth living
Each and every day
