Kindness

Catching all the drops,
that fall down peoples’ cheeks,
is quite hard.
Treading carefully,
dodging frightful things,
continuously sprinkling now and then.
Knowing when to continue walking on.
Knowing when to turn back and know,
a reason why.
Knowing when someone has not caught a drop.
Knowing when someone has treaded wrong…
Knowing when someone has not.
That is
Kindness.
