The Mother and the Girl


No room for darkness

And no room for hatred

With such little time 

what kind of world have we created?

There’s so much darkness, all over the world today.

One person yelling at another

Is that just okay?

But what if they’re strangers

One busy mother

And another just trying to get by

making a living at dairy queen

as just another employee

Mom's order isn't right and it was this girls fault

Mom's dad just passed away,

And that girl thinks about taking her life own all day.

What does this mean?

Why can’t we see that everyone has problems?

Not everyone’s life is daisies and blossoms.

Let us be kind.

Kind to one another, kind to the world we live on.

Teach the children of kindness and generosity

Teach them to serve each other and all humanity

Kindness is the key

To all things ending happy.
