When I dropped my crayon box
in rainbow slivers on the floor
One person stopped to help me gather rolling crayons
a whole sixty-four!
Crawling on our hands and knees picking up slivers of green and blue.
When someone spills their crayons
I will stop to help them,
and I hope you will too.
Kindness can be shown in many different ways
from a hand on the shoulder,
To a pat on the back,
Or simply saying you're there for them.
Saying one kind word can make someone's day.
Kind hearts are gardens,
and kind words are the roots.
I want to grow in this garden,
don’t you?
