Just a word of kindness,
To some one in distress
Sometimes a broken heart will heal,
And bring them happiness.
Do a deed of kindness.
For someone less fortunate than you
And in a time you least expect.
A kind deed will come back to you.
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
There's nothing so royal as truth
These are the most important things,
We should practice in our youth.
Life is what you make it
So we all should do our best,
And help bury each others sorrows,
With deeds of kindness.
-Mrs. A. Threadgill
