The concept of the golden rule is alive and well in our society. It is a policy I feel we should all live by.

And some tender loving care

To shield me from this reality

I request a little humanity

I beg this action

A kindness shared reaction

Lift up my head when it is down

Turn my frown into a smile

Show me the way to a happier ground

Provide me the guidance I desire

Teach me values not greed

Mercy is a kindness value some do not exceed

It a sign of being the one who cares

Remember forgiveness work in both directions

The healing process is a wonderful thing

If done from the heart it is more effective

A slap on the back not a kick in my pants

Show some mercy not just to me

Show it to everyone in need

Because mercy shown might return someday

A kindness given is a blessing in many ways
