\u201cKindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.\u201d
\n\u2014Mark Twain<\/p>\n
Six of one kind half a dozen kindness of another
\na double dose of love and three run fun homer
\ncoming from friends family sister and brother
\nKindness from everyone somewhat of a misnomer \u00a0
\nit is a best friend of love and balm for sorrow
\nKindness of being and being together as one
\nyesterday last night today and all day tomorrow
\nduring and after typhoons in tropical rain and sun
\nmany kinds of kindness exist physical and mental
\nthe German language word for kindness is \u2018friedlich\u2019
\nKindness can be experimental and developmental
\nNew Zealanders practice kindness with Kiwi English
\nto paraphrase Gump \u2018kindness is as kindness does\u2019
\nfrom flower to honey kindness as worker bees buzz.<\/p>\n
