How powerful is the kindness of a stranger?
With no obligation or reason to show
But simply because they want you to know
Your heart and their heart are saying hello
...
The insults of strangers are deflated by the ubiquity
We hear them so often like the buzz of a bee
Every now and again they give you a sting
But they don't have the power to conquer me
...
Why waste words to tear someone down?
We need more strangers who can reverse a frown
Who are not afraid to look like a clown
But can brighten a room without making a sound
...
The kind words of a friend are almost expected
But a stranger can surprise you while you are protected
With a smile or a gesture or gift unexpected
You're likely to bring down all our defenses
...
Kindness is known to bring forth repentance
A desire to pay forward that which was given
To take not for granted the great gift of friendship
But extend kindness to those who don't expect it
