Kindness of the Heart
Let me treat men with respect,
Let not my heart be so hard;
Let not my own lips neglect
The statement of high regard.
Let me possess a big heart,
To feel pity for people
Who stumble and fall apart
Because of stress and trouble.
Let me be sympathetic
For those who are suffering
The onslaught of pandemic
That keeps sick men shivering.
Humanity is so well
For the wounded enemy
In the middle of struggle
That is so fierce and bloody.
Let me have time for goodwill
And benevolent purpose;
Charity is perfect still
In doing social service.
