Kind Hearts
Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Love is the bright sunshine
That warms into life,
For only in darkness
Grow hate and strife.
Take care of your garden,
And keep it from weeds,
Fill, fill it with flowers,
Kind words and kind deeds.
Attributed to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)

And keep it from weeds,
Fill, fill it with flowers,
Kind words and kind deeds.
