Can't Put a Price on Kindness
Speaking words of encouragement
help to alleviate discouragement
this gives the soul some nourishment
and can make a friend more permanent
Lifting someone spirit intentionally
might build their confidence eventually
building up their faith exponentially
wanting to do it more, potentially
A kind word spoken out of sincerity
can help to bring a mind some clarity
and if it's done with regularity
might help to build solidarity
Kindness is a form of generosity
when given breaks down our animosity
so I scratch my head with curiosity
to not share it is such an atrocity
(Inspired by a lot of kindness on this very site!)

Such a beautiful, sincere message in poetic form. We truly need reminders in this day and time that we must be decent to one another. Wonderful words!

Dear Tig,
Indeed kindness is one of the greatest feelings we have. It is an expression of deep love.

I literally saw an example of this, this past week. As part of a training programme I saw people who were shy to even say hello shine bright and with a huge fighting spirit all from kind words. kind Words can really change a persons life

Sometimes we do not even see the results, but you can count on the fact that they do not hurt people. I know, I have been on the receiving end, many times right here on this site.
