Just Be Kind

Just Be Kind

In a world where you can be anything
Just be kind springs to mind
Help your fellow human being
When life lets them fall behind

We all have our skeletons
Or things we try to hide
Afraid to let the words run free
In case folk don’t take our side

Yet we can become fixated
On other people’s news
And stomp on them relentlessly
With a thousand different views

We may not condone their actions
But spare a minute for their mind
For they will face the music
And you can still be kind

I absolutely love writing poems. Enjoying my garden and my dogs. I used to be an Age UK Befriender, which I would thoroughly recommend to anybody. So rewarding
