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. April 18, 2019 for Carol Connell's "Swap Meet" Poetry Contest #7 Theme chosen: Kindness Re-entered for having a mistake in the first version.

Andrea this is a good one. I have always taught my children the golden rule for what this world needs now more than ever is love. I hope this reaches many people.
