BEING KIND

It is kind of not so difficult
To be kind
To those who are kind to us

It is kind of difficult
To be kind
To those who are not kind to us

It is often easy to be kind
To our own kind
We are kind of like them

When the other kind
Mix with our kind
They’re not really our kind

When we get back with our kind
We kind of like them
And we can be kind to our own kind

Except for our own kind
It’s a miracle to be kind
To those who are not our kind

It is kind of easy to be kind
To our own kind
Well, kind of

(Poems 2023 Ben Fike)

“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.” Jesus
