The Kindest Words
The Kindest Words
The kindest words are left unsaid
when by our selfish wants we’re lead
to walk away and never mention
“Thanks” for someone’s good intention.
The calmest words are left unsaid
when anger fills the human head.
‘’I’m sorry,” would erase the harm,
magic words that work a charm.
Vicious words should stay unsaid
the kind that hurtful rumors spread
“Let me tell you all that story,”
would bring a gossip no greater glory.
The cruelest words must stay unsaid
with kinder one’s placed in their stead,
like “Let me help you out. I understand.
We can make it together, hand in hand.”
The kindest words may step ahead
and all across the world be spread.
"Let's live together, under the sun
with love and peace for everyone."
