BEING KIND

BEING KIND


By Corinne Shields

We're born to show compassion,


it's our birthright to be kind,


And beneath each act of meanness,


scratch the surface and we'll find


There's a soul that is in trouble,


that has somehow lost its way,


And they're crying out for kindness too,


no matter what they say.


And though it can be difficult


for us to understand,


The antidote to harshness


is to give a helping hand,


For as ice can only melt


beneath the warming of the sun,


So the hardened heart's no match for


every act of kindness done.


And so though it may seem at times


the world is cold indeed,


That we're too bent on rushing past


to see a soul in need,


Yet be assured the best way we


can lighten up our load,


Is to share another's burden


as we walk along the road.
