One kind word
can change someone's life
forever
People come and people go
and how the times do change
but something here needs to be done
it should be rearranged
preachers pundits politicians
won't ever set things right
the man in the street can make a difference
if he takes up the fight
so many souls lost at sea
tho' they're on dry land
action speaks louder than words
they need a helping hand
and I'd rather see one good deed
putting things back on track
than hear one more kind word
a verbal pat on the back
I prefer to see
one good deed done willingly
lip service carries no weight at all
none whatsoever with me
Unhappy all I need is a kind word
Your love in action like a kind verb
There's no more protocol
No more negativity
Shall I be stalled
No more speech impediment
Have a long hairning a positive commitment
I speak truth not disheartening meant anxiety weighs
Holding me down no more, no longer so
New versus new rhyme no more alibis I have peace of mind
ups down I will not be found turned around
for in my heart flows the blood of Jesus Christ
And all in life is alright in Him
I renounce negativity drain my heart and mind flows out the negativity
In my mind and my heart I spread out negativity
Breath of God now I'll inhale and His positivity
No longer my heart hardened lodged as granite
It's now insolent soften matter no depression no denial thanklessness
No hopelessness I'm on fire enlightened rejoicefulness
I am the head and not the tail I am the beginning not the end remorseful
I am positive and love from God flows from His heart to mine to yours al
All but a kind word cheers us up
All but a kind word cheers us up
All but a kind word cheered me up

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2023
Referencing Proverbs 12:25
Be kind and considerate without getting anger
Use soft words, but be firm in your decision
Due to your calmness, you turn then stronger
This helps you surely excel in your mission
Because of your manners, you lose no longer
Success and money come to your possession
Choose words wisely and deliver them properly
Use not words that show that you are disorderly
Produce for all peace by behaving not poorly
He who avoids a fight ever has the upper hand
As he insults none, but drives clearly the point
Feelings of others, he does kindly understand
As a result none he will in life badly disappoint
On troubles, he will never at all just wrongly land
As wit and wisdom, he does very shrewdly appoint.
See what to do next to rectify
Don't brood over past losses
Wisely prevent them via wisdom
This is the way to gain success
Surely there will be a fine way
To enable you to end all failures
Once you detect that way to solve
Your happiness is firmly insured
Take into account every advice
But, before implementing them
Use your brain and heart fully
A remedy will then come out
People are eager to give advice
But, it is left to us to take it
We must never lose our peace
By landing into a huge trouble
If we develop an analytical mind
We can take adequate steps rightly
And grab the solution skillfully
To enable us to lead a happy life
Prayer is surely a powerful force
That may equip our mind strongly
If we shrewdly take its support
We can face any hurdle boldly
Efforts and prayer are two oars
By using which we can handle tears
Our bliss is in our possession only
Be aware of it and lead life nicely.
A mean word
if heard
can destroy
Let it lapse ~
a kind one
employ
Kind words are like life’s pneumatics,
No cost to deploy,
But may save a sinking titanic!
There was a moment
When I though that a kind word
Would change the world
For the better
But now it seems
That the stronger you are
Will mean the more
You are listened to
And your kind word
Can be lost amongst
The clutter of it all
And kindness doesn’t count.

A KIND WORD
A pat
A hug
A scolding
A kind word.
A push
A pause
A listening ear
A helping hand.
Those we truly touch never forget,
Even long after the moment is passed.
O yes!
Like clay in the hands of the potter,
Those we form forever stay firm,
Long after our supporting hands are removed!
Like tempered steel, our words can build and strengthen,
If spoken from a heart of flesh: as with winks or blinks and silences screamed in voiceless mode. True talk!
But, our words can also freeze into stone and inaction, as with a gorgon’s stare
When love is blinded and hearts calcified.
Factual!
The latter leads to dreams broken and wings in mid-flight burdened with dead weight;
Where hope is dashed, dreams in ashes and the fire that keeps alive forever banked in cold coal.
And the former? So like the risen sun, the gallop of the antelope through luxuriant field,
And the graceful ascent of the swan in exultant flight!
.
Scattered seeds of a thoughtful word
Though the sowing may seem in vain
When fearing kindness goes unheard
With no condition left to gain
Gentle words may fall like the rain
Upon a vacant lot they grow
Will they bloom? We may never know…
Yet worth pure gold, if given chance
To grow strong roots, to spread, to hold
To change the world, on passing glance

SAY A KIND WORD
How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Your lover, your friend and your confident
How do you tell her of your discontent?
How do you tell the woman for whom you care?
That you are no longer in love with her
The woman you love but no longer desire
Kind and caring but unable to light your fire
How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Where do you begin? Where do you start?
How do you tell her and not break her heart?
A kind word spoken each day
can help the lost find their way
back to the fold of love and peace
back to the joy that God unleashed.
A kind word spoken once or twice
can make the difference in one's life
It can guide them through their troubled times
It can heal their wounds and confused mind.
A kind word spoken to those whom are sad
can change their outlook and make them glad
It can turn their frown into a smile
It can help them through any trial.
A kind word spoken from the heart
can help one make a brand new start
It can help them see things more clearly
It will help them believe God loves them dearly.
A kind word is sent from me to you
This is what God wants us to do.
