Love this, I try to embody this and be an example as often as possible. I’m still human so I do have my moments, as we all do sometimes…but I encourage you to try to be mindful in this capacity. At the very least, the power of kind and safe words for others. Build from there. Start by offering yourself kinder words…you will feel how wonderful it is to love yourself…then you will be excited to offer that joy to others.
Let kindness guide your voice today,
For harsh words leave wounds that stay.
Speak with love to those who're small,
Their hearts are pure, they hear it all.
To youth whose path is steep and long,
Offer words that make them strong.
Life gives them battles yet to face;
Let your voice be their safe place.
For those whose twilight years draw near,
Whose stories deserve a gentle ear,
Speak softly of the life they've known,
Each word a comfort freely shown.
And to those who've lost their way,
Remember mercy as you say
The words that might just lead them home—
No soul should wander lost, alone.
For gentle words, like morning dew,
Touch hearts and make the world anew.
These whispers soft, these moments kind,
Leave ripples in the streams of time.
