    We definitely need more kindness right now! It’s such a dark world, and people need to just be a little nicer and have more empathy. Thanks for another lovely poem!

    I love this. I talk to my kids about kindness every day. I sort of always think… There is so much meanness in this world… We NEED more kindness. You never know how much that kindness is going to affect someone. This was such a beautiful poem.

      Thank you so much! I love seeing how kindness relates to people’s lives.

    kindness can go a long way honestly. We should always try and be kind. I can still remember how I made someone stop self harming himself just because I was the only kind person around him. The day he told me his story, I cried a lot and it definitely changed me and I started to look at people differently. We are all struggling in this life but a simple act of kindness can change someone’s life for good. Let’s all practice being kind to each other more 🙂❤️

      Sometimes we never know if our kindness saved a life. If we do know, it only adds to the beauty of it.
      Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

    Kill them with extreme Kindness rather than extreme Hate. ❤

      What could be a better solution? 😉

      Agreed! Those who tire of living might reconsider if the world was a kinder place.
