How do we define the act of being kind?
Is it something we give, or say, or how we spend our time?
Is it words of encouragement, a gesture, or a smile?
Is it catching up with a friend you haven’t seen in a while?
Is it picking a bunch of flowers, or feeding the ducks in the park?
Is it making someone’s day with an uplifting remark?
Is it donating some loose change to help feed a family?
Is it spending your spare time volunteering at a charity?
Is it stopping to help someone find a thing they’ve lost?
Is it standing up for someone hurt, no matter what the cost?
Is it teaching children not to laugh at those who are in need?
Is it speaking out against the ones who rule the world with greed?
Though the definition may vary, on this we cannot fight…
The act of being kind is simply doing what is right.
Happy World Poetry Day everyone! We hope you feel inspired to let your kindness show, and maybe to write a poem of your own.
