Not too much to expect

A kindly word

In a friend’s ear

Eases away

Any tears or fears

Instills unction

For them to carry on

Give a show of compassion.

Show a little love

At the right time

Place that, in someone’s mind

Don’t let them down

Always be true

To the love instilled by you.

A deed of caring

Makes all feel good

In a way we know it should

It’s a demonstration

Of our humanity

Reinstates real belief

That we all have the capabilty

To do the right

And magnanimous thing

To show as good human beings.
