Children, walking the hallways,
Hiding their personal problems, their fear of not fitting in.
Adults, stuck in the routine of their lives,
Always unhappy, and never knowing why.

A cruel world,
Full of fragile people,
Concealing how breakable they are.

Only a few words,
A single gentle gesture,
Able to improve someone’s entire day,
To curing the sadness, the unhappiness.

Kindness, the key,
A certain universal language,
A uniquely powerful magic,
A gift, continuously being passed on.
