Kindness

By Amrutha L

You have been kind to the friend -

who had a bad childhood,

You have been kind to the person -

who has always been nervous,

You have been kind to the friend -

who never properly apologized,

You have been kind to the person -

who is afraid to do new things,

You have forgiven the friend -

who has spoken out of order,

You have been kind to the person -

someone you don't know,

You have been kind to the friend -

who has been mean without meaning to,

You have been kind to the person -

who has abused their power,

You have the ability to be kind and forgive,

Yet, you are the one who you should be kind to.

Be kind to yourself,

As you are to others,

So, everyone can be kind to others,

And to the world.
