Kindness

With someone you could be talking Or maybe even a little bit mocking, To that someone who is trying their very best To hold it together, or even maybe begin a new quest. You might not know what they are going through You might not know that they are sad and blue, But, complaining is not ever their style So, they just smile. Maybe because of a lost hope they are falling And for help they are silently calling, Maybe God had put them in your path So, they could hear hope and kindness, not fear and wrath. They might wear the clothes that you wear But, you can't see their cuts, bruises or tear, They might even wear the same colored style of shoes But, who knows their steps or blisters or blues. Who knows, but maybe they are falling apart So, please talk to them with your heart, Whatever that you might think or do or say Please, give them a little kindness today. Randy L. McClave
