Be Kind
Everywhere we look there is hatred and greed,
So many people with prideful needs.
Think of others and be kind;
Then you will have a peaceful mind.
It's not about always getting;
That only brings strife and fretting.
Don't be critical and want to control,
But let respect for others be your goal.
Let all nagging and harshness go.
Instead let gentleness and peace flow.
Yet be wise and strong too;
Those who are honest are few.
Let your words and thoughts be pure and clean,
And a good example to others be seen.
People will say, I want to be like them;
They are such a bright, shining gem.
I can trust what they say;
They walk according to God's way.
They don't swear or steal or lie;
Their life of integrity is seen on high.
