Be Truly Kind
By Nguyet Nguyen
If one ever asks,
What’s a meaningful life?
There’d be a reply
To ‘Be Truly Kind’
Like sunshine,
Radiating warm light,
Bringing hope to life,
And making others smile.
Like music of the heart,
Dispelling grief and fears,
Spreading one’s own cheers,
And wiping others’ tears.
Like an ocean of nectar,
Blooms a heart with love
Fills a soul with peace
And kindles it with joy.
And like Wishing-gem,
Having powerful skills,
Touching others’ feelings,
And accomplishing their wills.
Let’s try to Be Truly Kind,
To Shine out
‘Kindness’
Through to others’ lives.
It’d purify our mind
Transform mind inside
Bring peace to mankind,
And make a beautiful life.
How nice!
To Be Kind,
And
To have a Meaningful Life!
May every single thought
In our mind
Be blessed
By ‘True Kind’,
And May every moment
In our life
Be filled
With ‘True Kind’,
How nice!
To Be Truly Kind.
