Reflection of Kindness

Does kindness look back at you with grace When you hold the mirror up to your face Have you done good in your life And helped others through their strife Or have you sat idly by and by And ignored others as they cry and cry Do you spend the time to lend a sympathetic ear And let others know their woes you truly do care Do you live the good life above it all Or do you do acts of good others can recall Have you woven virtues of kindness into your life themes Or do you secretly revel when others come apart at the seams For if you go above and beyond to the betterment of one's sad story Mankind lifts higher for the downtrodden glory By Susan Mills
