Let Us Be Kind

By W. Lomax Childers

Let us be kind. The way is long and lonely, And human hearts are asking for this blessing only — Let us be kind. We can not know the grief that men may borrow, We can not see the souls storm-swept by sorrow; But love can shine upon the way to-day, to-morrow. Let us be kind.

Let us be kind. Around the world the tears of time are falling, And for the loved and lost these human hearts are calling. Let us be kind. To age and youth let gracious words be spoken, Upon the wheel of pain so many weary lives are broken, We live in vain who give no tender token. Let us be kind.

Let us be kind. The sunset tints will soon be in the west; Too late the flowers are laid then on the quiet breast. Let us be kind. And when the angel guides have sought and found us, Their hands shall link the broken ties of earth that bound us, And heaven and home shall brighten all around us. Let us be kind. — W. Lomax Childers.
