To Just Be Kind - Sq - Revised
At mothers’ knees, let children learn
of simple kindness; let us turn
away from hate and love with ease.
Let children learn at mothers’ knees.
In word and deed, let men be wise.
Their actions seen by children’s eyes
can change our world, and this we need!
Let men be wise in word and deed.
In every place, the Golden Rule
needs to be taught - at home; in school!
Imagine if we lived with grace
the Golden Rule in every place!
To just be kind - it's not so hard.
Nobody should be living scarred
by vicious acts or be maligned.
It's not so hard to just be kind.
