Poem: The Power of Kind Words

LadyElena on Jul 17, 2011

Kind words…

Kind Words

Kind words will melt a hardened heart

Even if they’re about to “throw a dart”.

Kind words will comfort people in distress

and can Turn a big “No” into a “Yes”

Kind words could make people admire you

and be inspired with what you do.

Kind words will make “challenging” students listen

I learnt this while teaching in my Lesson.

Kind words can stop an argument

So no one’s left “cold” on the pavement.

“lovely to meet you”… “have a nice Day”

for some elderly, there’s no one there to say…

Everyday, say a kind word

Put some sunshine in someone’s world.

Quote

“Kind words can warm for three winters, while harsh words can chill even in the heat of summer” Chinese Proverb

You are so right. Kind words are so easy to say. It makes me wonder why more people doen’t say them.

True – If you have ever been given a hard time by an officious public (civil) servant, try some kind words back. Not easy to do but It works a lot better than getting into a slanging match (which they will always win).
