the day is gray, the sky is thin
but kindness starts where we begin
a smile, a word, a gentle touch
it does not cost, yet gives so much
each act of grace, a secret flame
that lights the dark without a name
even silence, soft and true
can carry hope in all you do
let anger fall, let softness stay
in every step along the way
for hearts can bloom where love is shown
and even strangers feel at home
