My heart, it seemed so burdened
From the load I had to bear.
I was trudging along, hopelessly.
Nothing mattered, I just didn't care.

Then, a stranger took the time
To smile at me and say
One kind word, to lift me up,
To brighten up my day.

Bless this stranger, Lord, I pray.
For, he helped me to realize
Just how important kindness is,
When seen through another's eyes.
