I was kind 

Even when you didn’t deserve it 

I was kind 

Even when you treated me so badly 

I was kind 

And even when I heard everything 

That you said about me 

I was kind 

And I wasn’t kind because of who you are

I was kind because of who I am 

I don’t pray for you to be punished 

I only pray that I have 

The courage to continue to be kind 

No matter what you do 

Sometimes being kind is like planting seeds 

You scatter them without knowing if they’ll grow 

But you do it anyway 

Hoping they’ll blossom into something beautiful 

It’s not about getting something in return. 

It’s about giving without expecting 

Kindness isn’t weakness 

It’s strength in its purest form 

A gentle force that can change heart 

So I’ll continue to be kind 

Not because it’s easy 

But because it’s right
