I'd like to offer up an innovative thought.
Be kind to everyone, if you want to, or not.
Ok, maybe it's not all that new.
Imagine what changes we'd make if we do.
This whole world could use a dose, or two.
Maybe thousands of doses is closer to true.
Give critism with kind words, give from the heart.
It can be done without meanness, that would be a
start.
Let someone go before you in a line.
Something so simple, yet it could be so kind.
Say hi to that stranger sitting all alone.
One day, it could be you, displaced on your own.
What could it hurt, it won't cost you a thing?
Kindness is as free, as being mean.
Author notes
A simple gift to give. This one speaks for itself pretty clearly. No random act of kindness goes unnoticed. After all, if nothing else, it makes you feel good.
Please tell me what you think

So true, people go all or nothing, why bother be nice when it wont do anything and all that sort of thing. i like it very true and a very good write.

Thanks
I just felt it needed saying. People need to show it more, it doesn't cost anymore than being mean does, actually it costs less.

this is a good write. How people treat others is how they will probably get treated back. So I perfer to kill hatred with kindness. This is very good.

I just felt the need to say it.
There really is enough bad going around. It's amazing how just smiling can change a whole situation.

Heartwarming
It is amazing to think that just a smile....something so simple....could change someones day.....a kind word could change someones week and a thoughtful deed could change someones life.....so simple...yet, for whatever the reason,it is beyond so many. Wonderful sentiment within your words.

Thanks.
It was a simple message, but one that needs reinforcing. It's nice to know that the message was so clear. -

You are more than welcome! This is added to my bookmarks in case I should need a dose of 'reinforcement'.

A very good message, and one that cannot be said enough.
Other than the use of informal wording, this is quite nice. The flow is good and the rhyming is adequate. The only suggesting I would make is changing some of the punctuation.
Overall, this was quite nice.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks
It's nice to know that you actually do it. We get something back, just by doing it. Feel free to use this whenever you wish, I'd be honored. -
I'm glad you liked it.
Also thanks for your comments, I appreciate it. I tend to use a lot of punctuation in my writing. I've tried to tone it down, but than it doesn't seem like me.
