A LITTLE KINDER

Every day we get a little closer to dying…that’s just reality…
although we don’t know exactly when our last day on Earth will be.

So each day as we move a little closer to the end…
we should try and get a little closer to our family and friends…

Since once a day is over…never to repeat
each day we should try to be a little kinder to everyone we meet.

A little kinder to all the people who look or act differently…
A little kinder to the animals…to the air, the land…the sea.

And each day as we try to be a little kinder to the world…
wouldn’t it be swell…
If we could try to be a little kinder to ourselves as well.

For there are no more beautiful words that can e’er be said…
when it’s our time to live no more…
than: 
everyday we tried to be a little kinder 
than we were the day before.
