We can all help in our world
Every day we see people
People who are lost in life
Lost through no fault of their own
As we pass them
We ignore them
But just remember
That we can be kind people
And if we are kind to them
Kind to the downtrodden
It may help them to rise
It may help the world to rise
Ensuring that a simple act of kindness
May push them
And may push the world
In the right direction
Be kind to all
Being kind does not cost anything
But can mean so much to many.

A smile can be a gift. A smile can lighten a strangers darkness. A smile is a tiny act of greeting and can be received as a kindness.
Start the day with a smile. Well I'm sure you do.
Very true d a, I always start the day with a smile.

So true ! I said hello to an elderly guy yesterday when I was out .. he smiled back asking how our walk was .
That is all it takes yellowrose, just a word to somebody.

Dusk mentions the smile - the key to so many doors which otherwise remain shut - great write Andy.
Very true Michael.
"Smile, it confuses people."
Andy
A fine write , kind Sir.
Thank you Orchi.
Spot on, we live our lives at a pace we don't even see the fallen now.
Shame on us.
Thank you Paul, yes we do not see the fallen anymore.
Andy
As you so rightly point out Andy, a smile ‘does not cost anything’.
And that is precisely the point.
But what would mean ‘so much to many’ is the helping hand society can provide with a roof over their head and services they need provided by circumstances (read Governments) which are different to those which allowed you to exist in the position you do today.
Very true Dave, there is enough money in our world so that nobody need to live in poverty but those in power do not care.
Andy
So very true Andy,a little kindness can go a long ways, perhaps change a life, great piece Andy
Than k you Melissa, yes it only takes a little thing to help others.
Andy
It should be the easiest thing in the world to acknowledge another human being with a greeting. People have done it to me and I have worn a smile afterwards. I have given it to other people and they have given it back to me. Kindness is a reciprocal thing. If we're all givers, we're all receivers, the law of averages.
Thank you Bella, yes that is so true.
Andy
