The Weight of Kindness

Kindness has no size, no grand parade,
It’s tucked in a smile, in words softly made.
It slips through the cracks of the busiest day,
A gesture so small—but it paves the way.

Though it fits in a whisper, a glance, or a hand,
It’s heavier still than most understand.
More weighty than iron, six hundred pounds strong,
It anchors the heart where it’s carried along.

A present unwrapped by both giver and guest,
It nourishes souls, leaves both feeling blessed.
In giving, we find that we also receive—
A spark that reminds us how deeply we breathe.

Peace is no dream, not too distant to find,
If only we’d carry this truth in our mind:
The world could be healed with one simple call—
To think and do kindness, and give it our all.
