It's the little things that matter
That make our lives sweeter.
It's a kind and gentle heart of giving
That makes life worth living!
There's a mystical power in what we say;
For gracious words have influence to sway.
Hello, good morning, and how do you do?
Please or thank you or I love You!
But sharp words and verbal attacks...
Are like a cold shoulder or a stab-in-the-back.
Once uttered they never are recalled.
Such words should never be spoken at all!
With a handshake or hug or friendly kiss,
We can bring others sweetness and bliss.
We hold the keys to our own plight...
By whether we treat others with kindness or slight.
