It’s heartening the wondrous things you can do
All it takes is a kind word or two.
A friendly touch or warm smile and “hi”
Melts someone’s defenses in the blink of an eye.
You’ve been there yourself you know it’s true
Frozen and hurt by negative words said to you.
All to frequent it doesn’t have to be that way
Offer a compliment instead and make their day.
Perhaps initially a fight, but a battle you can win
Kind words flow freely, when you’re happy from within.
Good idea, nice job, your haircut looks great
Offer your kind words quickly, before they’re too late.
Generous, dependable, thoughtful are positive seeds to sow
Own the words first, then to others they can flow.
Charming, radiant, talented are words that bring cheer
Powerful words those around you long to hear.
Creative, gracious, you’re so fun to be around
All part of a marvelous new vocabulary you have found.
Remember the secret is to first be happy within
The kind words that follow will win many a friend.
Hearts frozen or melted it’s entirely up to you
Make a difference to someone else...today...
with just a Kind Word or Two.

Strangers on the street
Souls destined to meet
Eyes lock to greet
Faces expressionless for a beat
One smiles
The other a frown
Their connection fizzles
Without making a sound
Not a word is spoken
Nothing attempted to say
Expressionless they turn
Still strangers they walk away

I’m a little stubborn...
but I don’t always have to get my way.
I’m a little naïve...
but I’ll only fall for something once.
I’m a little tough on the outside...
but I’ll still cry when I’m hurt.
I’m a little chubby...
but I’m talented in so many ways.
I’m a little short...
but I have a big, caring heart.
I’m a little impatient...
but I won’t rush you into making bad choices.
I’m a little quirky...
but I’ll always have my friends’ back.
I’m a little sad...
but I’ll do my best to pick you up when you are.
I’m a little odd...
but I’m funny and fun to be around.
I’m a little confused in some subjects...
but a true **** in others.
I’m a little lonely...
but I’m ok spending some time alone.
I’m a little awkward trying new things...
but show me how to do it and I’ll learn.
I’m a little hurt by negative words...
but isn’t everyone.
I’m a little shy...
but get to know me and I’ll blossom before your eyes.
I’m a little suspicious...
but I’ll still give you the benefit of the doubt.
I’m a little weak...
but I’m not afraid to try and fail.
I’m a little judgmental...
but I’ll change my opinion when I’m wrong.
You see, I’m not perfect in every way...
but I don’t have to be.
I’m just perfect for me.
