Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and that the part of the world you’re living in is crawling back to some level of normality. I’m sharing a poem with you today, I hope you enjoy it!
Be Kind
Kindness is not an obscurity
It’s not just an abstract notion
It’s not conjured from the ether
By some exotic magic potion
It’s a thing that is innate in us
It is made freely deep within
It’s always simmering underneath
Where it bubbles up to the skin
It takes effort to ignore it
It’s hard to push it down
It’s easier to let it form a smile
than to suppress it with a frown
And we need it now, more and more
That kindness from below
So be friendly, and compassionate
And let your giving spirit show
Kindness is contagious
And if we all just shared a bit
The world would be a better place
And we all could benefit
So be kind to everybody
It’s really not hard at all
And every act of kindness counts
From large to very small
As always, thank you so much for reading my words. It means a lot to know that the work I spend hours creating is being read. I really do appreciate it!
Until next time,
George
