Through Love and Kindness

The sun will shine brighter tomorrow if I do not partake in drugs.
Also this will help me stay away from bullies, meanies, and thugs.

Yes, I am a diehard advocate for friendship, peace, empathy and love.
The most positive people are sent to me from my spirit guides above.

My friends and I advocate and teach kindness and the golden rule.
People recognize my softness.  I am not easy, certainly no fool.

Through love and hope and empathy, I have created a wonderful safe place.
Surrounded by upbeat, positive people, the best of the human race.
