Spread a little  kindness,

everywhere you go,

let that little kindness,

from your heart flow.

A cup of water timely brought,

an offered easy chair,

a turning of the window-blind sought,

to all those who feel the air.

Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the blossoms,

Kind deeds are the fruits.

An early flower bestowed unasked,

a light and cautious tread,

a voice to the softest whispers hushed,

to spare an aching head.

Love in the sweet sunshine,

that warms into life,

for only in darkness we whine,

grows hatred and strife.

Oh, things like these,

these little things,

puts us at ease,

and to us adds wings.

The purest love disclose,

as fragrant atoms in the air,

reveal the hidden rose,

kindness is here and kindness is there.
