What uplifts me
Is the kindness in humanity
Just knowing that there are some kind people left
Because I feel at this rate, helping one another one day will seem like only a myth
A city coming together to fulfill a dying child’s wish
People interfering to bullying, saying "No, we must stop this"
Strangers stopping to pull people out of a burning house or car
A teacher caring for a student saying, “If you ever need me, I’m not too far”
People helping people, not looking for recognition
Sometimes it’s hard to help someone because you don’t know if they have evil intentions
What uplifts me is someone giving a helping hand to the poor
Wiping someone’s tears saying “You don’t have to cry anymore”
Letting someone know that they aren’t alone, while they grab their hand
And take a stand
Someone understanding that our differences don’t make a difference, no reason to feel shame
Because at the end of the day, we’re human, so therefore we're all the same
Someone embracing everyone’s gifts
What uplifts me is the kindness in humanity
Or maybe what uplifts me is that humanity still exists
Because we live in a day and age
Where it seems most are filled with rage
And hate for one another
The strength of family seems to weaken, people will kill their own brother
Like a dog eat dog world, you must fend for yourself
Defend for yourself
Like where the people who care
Killings, murders, kidnappings, the news is filled with despair
The smell of blood seems to be in the air
So what uplifts me and can bring a tear to my eye
Is when kind acts are done, letting me know that humanity hasn’t completely died
