Humble and Kind

Always be humble, always be kind,

Are words I heard in a song;

I believe if you follow the advice that I heard

You will never, never go wrong.

The kindest of people are always polite.

It seems they know how to

do everything right.

They open the door for people in need;

They help the poor people,

and never show greed.

To open the door for people in need

To always say “thank you”

and always say “please,”

Is showing good manners to others, indeed!

It will not hurt you to offer a smile

Or be nice to a stranger you’ve met’

You might be surprised by

the kindness they show,

It is something you’ll never regret.

So bury all anger and hatred and spite,

Release all those thoughts from your mind;

It might lift your spirits,

and make you feel good,

Let’s start being humble and kind.
