nice kind helpful sweet
put these four words on repeat
use them every single day
making hatred go away
niceness will make someone smile
its something going out of style
being kind is very good
spread it through your neighborhood
helpfulness is a word
that should be done--just not heard
sweetness can bring around
someone sad and really down
don't let these words disappear
the negativity and fear
that we face can be scary
but our actions will be clearly
the only we can end
the horrible shape our world is in

It has been too long a while
Since helpfulness was in full style
We need to bring it back again'
Like it used to be back when
Strangers used to help each other
Not like now--it's such a bother
To lend a hand to those in need
We need to replant the seed
Of sharing into the ground
Helping it grow all around
It doesn't need to be a hassle
As this world spins in a circle
Let's boomerang some love back in
If everybody took a minute
To look deep inside themselves
And see someone who needs help
Reaching out a caring hand
Is a gesture that's so grand
And might change a life for good
This is something we all should
Try and accomplish every day
Soon a chain of love will sway
With kindness in every link
Lets all get it to the brink
Of heaviness it can handle
Love is not a crime or scandal
So let's use it all we can
Spread happiness throughout the land

A long time ago, under the sea
Born was a very squishy
Little baby sponge so cute
Bringing happiness You can't dispute
Eyes that are so big and bright
With love that grabs you heart so tight
A laughter that is contagious
His antics can be outrageous
Blowing bubbles that are great
To work he is never late
A friend that is rare and true
Who will never leave you blue
Always having lots of fun
Leaving joy to everyone
"Super"bob is always there
With helpfulness to show he cares

A divine crown was born in a simple stable;
As a fond blessing for all earthlings.
He did not yearn for a royal label;
But enlightened all people with his wise sayings.
He will direct our lives in the right paths;
Just like the star which directed the three kings towards his manger.
The Lord wants us to be Santas of kindness, joy and helpfulness;
Just like how he is the Santa of our lives!

When we're young we are told
Never put your dreams on hold
Rise above and you can be
Anything, set your heart free
But I've learned there's an action
That can give you satisfaction
It's free and doesn't cost a lot
Look inside your loving heart
Finding kindness you can spread
Don't hate causing others dread
Bullying abuse racism
Violence and discrimination
Are not welcome anywhere
Instead use kindness love and care
Helpfulness to those in need
A generous act indeed
Remember when finding your place
On this earth leave a trace
Of cheerfulness all around
In every step on this earth's ground

Few faeries flit and flicker around Firefly Faerie Town.
She is reserved for those who have earned thistle down.
As a reward for their helpfulness to maidens in distress,
Some are given the key to the city, more or less.
Firefly faerie town is a place where only faeries dwell.
And they have to be inspiring and uplifting, totally swell.
If you get an invite, you are not allowed to tell even your mother.
Or they will hide the invite from you and you will never get another.

Garden* garnished midst nourishing nature
brings bounty from the Creator of wellness wealth
floral scene shines, presents paradise
like flourishing faith nurtured with care Christ grants
along mercy might and love loads
for unique usefulness, helpfulness heaps
toward thanksgiving bliss, praise-filled indeed.
*Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

(To be sung to the tune of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”)
Grateful for our freedom-reign
Blissful with triumphant gain
Pardon brings sweet peace to heart
Marked by gracious loving part
Kindness shouts helpfulness cheers
Lifts our faith along hope gears
Reaching-out with smile’s delight
Shining radiance of God’s light…
Grateful for our freedom-reign
Blissful with triumphant gain!
Thankful in so many ways
Joyful midst prayerful days
Good health reflects wellness glow
Bracing hard work’s fruitful show
The Lord supplies every need
Always blessing us indeed
Now, we contribute our share
Touching others’ lives with care…
Thankful* in so many ways
Joyful midst prayerful days.
*Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

The politician's poverty
is slum upon the street
When bum and cart will make you roll
through city home and fleet
And shame you for the life you live
in consequence of fit
When power, vote and ignorance
will serve a man to sit
And all you seem to say to life
is that you'd be quite ill
When helpfulness and worry for
are left to mean your will
And you will lead a plan on Earth
to what a man can do
When all your votes to carry on
are not what you'd see through
