The Gift of Kindness

Kindness is a gift not bought in a store
There’s no pretty paper or colored ribbons
No carton cold possibly contain it
Kindness is found in a generous heart
All wrapped up with love and care
Kindness comes from a gentle love
for a longtime friend or a stranger in need
Kindness is free – belongs to us all
A gift to be shared every day.
