Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti

“Throw Kindness around like confetti” (motto attributed to Kate Spade)

Throw kindness around like confetti.
Find chances wherever you go.
There's no act of kindness that’s petty
when light of your love you let show.

Confetti at parties and weddings
is celebratory and fun.
Let’s celebrate life in all settings -
from morning until the day’s done.

While driving to work on the freeway -
let cars in your lane! At the store,
be patient as well. Make somebody’s day.
Be cheerful and smile; hold open a door!

It isn’t so hard to simply be nice,
so wherever you happen to be,
try it once, try it twice, then try it thrice.
Happier faces you’ll start to see.

So take my advice and throw kindness around,
for the more acts of kindness you show,
the more will the ripples of sweet love be found
affecting the world with confetti-like glow.

Hi Andrea, What a really nice poem. Congratulations on your win. You really deserved it. In some cases the competition is tight. In this case, you blew away the person in second. Well, I'm going to smile now, 'cause it makes me feel good too. Luv, Bryan

Oh I so absolutely LOVE this! I wish you were in my neighborhood <3 :) I agree, acts of kindness bless us just as much as they bless others (actually, maybe even more!). This is as cute and joy filled as it can be! <3

A great motto. Kindness should always come first. Alas not all feel the humility of love. Hugs.
