Kind hearts are the gardens
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
How sweet are the affections of kindness
Kindness is the real law Of life, the link
that connects heaven and earth, a seed
which, when dropped, springs up flower
which blossoms in all the freshness of eter-
nal spring. 1t is like a beautiful calm
stream reflecting every good deed, aud
makes sunshine wherever it goes: finds its
way into all human hearts and brings forth
hidden joys and pleasures, while IA rshness
seals them up forever. Write your name by
Kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of
all the people you come in contact with
through life, and in after years you will not
be forgotten.
"Honor and shame from no condition rise:
Act well your part-there all the honor lies =
There is nothing like Kindness in the
world; it is the very principle OF love, an
emanatlon from the human heart which
brings joy and comfort: the sunshine of our
souls and the star Of our life. Kind hearts
are the bonds Of holy love that connect our
lives.
