World Kindness Day

You may not know today’s the day Designed for being kind So it’s a chance for you to pay Benevolence some mind. Get off your butt and give a seat To someone who can use it And smile at everyone you meet; If someone scowls, excuse it. With chores around the house, assist And change to right a wrong By calling kith or kin who’ve missed Your voice for way too long. Acknowledge those who have your back; Boost someone’s self-esteem. Encourage all to stay on track When following a dream. We shouldn’t need a special day For all of us can spare Some kindness shown along the way So others know we care.

Sadly, I missed this as I was blown away by Donald Trump saying, "What team? I don't have a team! I am the team!" He clearly needs more than one cup of kindness, doesn't he? Aloha! Rico

Ilene, if a smile can create kindness then your poetry does that every day. Kindness is a gift we should give year round. Wonderfully written and expressed my friend.
