Love and kindness
<p>*Love and Kindness*
</p><p>
</p><p>Love is a quiet hand in a noisy room,
</p><p>A cup of tea left warm when the world feels cold.
</p><p>It doesn’t shout to be noticed —
</p><p>It stays. It listens. It remembers your name.
</p><p>
</p><p>Kindness is love with its sleeves rolled up.
</p><p>It’s the umbrella given in the rain,
</p><p>The spare seat saved,
</p><p>The “are you okay?” when your smile is too tired.
</p><p>
</p><p>Love plants the seed.
</p><p>Kindness waters it every day.
</p><p>One builds the home,
</p><p>The other keeps the light on.
</p><p>
</p><p>In a world that rushes and takes,
</p><p>Love and kindness are the pause.
</p><p>They don’t ask what you can give back.
</p><p>They just ask if you’re hungry,
</p><p>If you’re hurting,
</p><p>If you need someone to sit with you in the dark.
</p><p>
</p><p>And when we give them away,
</p><p>They never leave.
</p><p>They come back as rice,
</p><p>As a new umbrella,
</p><p>As strangers who become family.
</p><p>
</p><p>Because love is the heart.
</p><p>Kindness is what the heart does.
</p><p>
</p><p>---
</p><p>
</p><p>Want me to make another version that’s shorter, rhyming, or more like spoken-word style?</p>
