it comes-
from deep in your heart
from the depths of your soul
from every hidden corner of your mind.
it's communicated through-
the words you say
the tone you speak with
the light in your eyes
the genuine expression.
it holds a power-
to make a difference
to change lives
to become joyful yourself.
isn't the same as being nice-
it goes above and beyond
it endures hardships
it says, '"i care"
it is authentic.

not always easy,
but definitely worth it.
kindness is a gift.
