To Be Kind

From the Garden, Flowers and Birds – Ferdinand von Wright


Kindness like a kiss breathes softness to say hello
In a world full of kisses we rarely bestow
Nod my head to both rich and poor in fair greeting
Donning civility in every meeting
Noting but not pointing at my neighbors in need
Even as I sow abundance for all like seed
Sharing my joy and the pain of others' sorrow
Sharing the wealth today to care for tomorrow
