kindness


the kindness of a friend
who makes time for tea

the kindness of a friend
who mails me cards

the kindness of a mother
to say again and again
i love you no matter what

the kindness of a son
to clear the table every night after dinner
never once being asked

the kindness of a smile from a stranger

the kindness of  the teachers who
spend the day with my children.

the kindness of being part of a team
so that when he is too tired i am not
and when i am too weary
he pretends he is not.

kindness really does make a difference
every.single.day.
