Tolerance Through The Year

A little bit of tolerance lives
Within your heart each day,
When you do a worthwhile deed,
Give a word of encouragement away.

Do not save your kindness
For just a special or selective time?
We all want to be loved and accepted
And live in a world that is fine.

Give a helping hand to someone,
Instill hope and spirit today.
The things that mean the most
Aren't always those for which we pay.

Racism and discrimination has not faded,
Many people live in hatred and fear.
So, keep tolerance living in your heart
And it will grow immensely every year.
