Simple Ways To Make Others Happy

Listen softly, don’t contend,

Be the calm, the gentle friend.

Hold their words without a fight,

Let them speak into the night.
__

Hear them out—no need to judge,

Let your patience never budge.

Praise their steps, both big and small,

Forgive them for the times they fall.

__

Thank them with a heartfelt smile,

When peace is needed, walk that extra mile.

Offer them compliments sincere,

Help the clouds of self-doubt disappear.

__

Recognize the good things they do,

Say, “I see the kindness, commitment, or strength in you.”

A gentle word, a selfless deed,

Is all that they may truly need.

__

Lend your hand, and join their plans,

Be a partner, where you can.

Yield sometimes, and you will find,

Sacrifices bring peace in heart and mind.
__

These small acts are nothing new—

And what's more, they are not hard to do.

A world of peace begins this way.

One shared  kindness, every day.
