We all can give others some kindness, respect,
A habit, when busy, we sometimes neglect.
It takes little effort, a nod or a smile.
When you give it a try you will find it worthwhile.
For someone in need, you can brighten their day.
It’s amazing the kindness your words can convey.
It may be a stranger you pass on the street.
Perhaps it’s a friend that you happen to meet.
Be careful the words that you use when you talk,
You don’t know the pathway that others have walked.
Find ways to encourage with words from the heart.
Lift someone’s spirit before you depart.
Some day when you’re troubled, discouraged, or grieved,
I pray that same kindness is also received.
