One Kind Word

One kind word can heal a hurt
One kind word can warm the heart
One kind word can brighten a day
One kind word can build someone up
One kind word can mean a lot

One kind word shows we care
One kind word shows we’re there
One kind word shows us the face of happiness
One kind word shows us the joy of life
One kind word shows it can mean a lot

One kind word causes happiness
One kind word causes friendship
One kind word causes peace
One kind word causes love
One kind word causes joy

If one kind word
does all this
and can cause so much happiness
why isn’t it done
more often

It’s not
too hard
too out of our way
too time-wasting
or too word-wasting

It’s just a matter of
‘wasting’ a second
or two
or at most three
and one kind word
