Simple Acts of Kindness

A simple act of kindness
Can go a very long way
A cheerful smile, a friendly hug
Can brighten someone’s day

At times people will talk to you
Give them a ready ear
Let them talk their troubles out
Let them know you’ll hear

So many people are troubled
And living in despair
Find a way to brighten their day
And let them know you care

If kindness ruled our daily lives
Instead of selfish waste
The world would be a better
Kinder, gentler place
