Kindness is a Candle

     Kindness is a candle
        a flame ablaze in the heart 

     Its glow lights up a face ~
        never be it erased

Great one, Gershon, a kinder world would be so welcome and celebrated. I have often had kindness extended to me by strangers. Shalom for you and your family's day. :)
