In a world where ego often reigns,
Where power holds the key to gains,
Kindness and humility, they still remain,
The virtues that will never wane.
In their hearts, the truly wise do know,
That what truly matters will always show,
For kindness spreads like a gentle glow,
And humility lets one's inner beauty grow.
Kindness is like a soothing balm,
A tender touch in the midst of qualm,
It lifts the spirits and brings calm,
To those who face life's fiercest storm.
It's found in the smile of a stranger's face,
In a helping hand, in a warm embrace,
In the words that uplift, the gestures that erase,
The sorrows that burden, the pains that chase.
Humility stands like a sturdy tree,
Rooted in selflessness, for all to see,
It whispers softly, reminding you and me,
That greatness lies in humbleness' decree.
It's found in the absence of boasting and pride,
In the ability to step aside,
To acknowledge faults and endeavor to guide,
With grace and compassion, side by side.
