A Single Word of Kindness

A single word of kindness
can turn a bleak day into a bright one

can lift a person out of despair
can make someone feel wanted.

A single word of kindness
can change the past

can mean a meal for the hungry
can fill a heart with hope.

A single word of kindness
can change the world.
