Power of Kindness
“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King
Let the light of the Lord shine despite night
Warming cold souls illuminating dark sky
Making a beautiful bouquet in desert times
Bringing new vision new meaning to the blind
Be the reason someone can have hope
With head up encouraged even though
In another way at end of reality’s rope
Given new ideas and techniques to cope
You don’t have to know it all
Humanity is in us heed the call
Compassion is a coat in fall
Wear it, be warm, stand tall
