Like this:

Your friend is walking with their head held down
If you could see their face, you would see a frown

Something is bothering them, something has them down.
You don’t know what, but you care, you want to help turn them around

They don’t want to talk, they just turn away
finally you put your arm around them and they start to sway.

A touch of kindness in the form of a hug, you can feel the tension start to ease
Your friend kind of opens up, and starts to tell why they don’t feel the breeze.

Everybody is going through some trouble or trial
a true friend can sense that and help  stop the betrayal.

When words don’t seem right and your friend is in pain,
a pat on the back or a hug can ease up the hurting without placing blame

It is a proven fact you know, that a act of kindness,
releases endorphin in your blood that gives you a natural  high and overcomes life’s blindness

Not only do you feel good, the person you do the kindness for feels better
and even some one watching will feel a warm glow and the release of life’s fetters.

So as you go through life reach out and touch someone feeling bland,
Let them feel the love from your heart flow forth through your hand.

The world will be a kinder place and we will all feel better
A simple act of kindness, is that to much to ask, to make someone’s life a little better.

So as you walk the halls of life today, reach out and touch someone’s shoulder
in a kind and loving way, Let them know someone cares and help make them a little bolder

A simple act of kindness, a touch, a hug, so  easy to do
Why don’t more of us do it and life wouldn’t be so blue
