To touch someone
with
kindness
is to change someone forever.
Heavy, huh?
But that's not the half of it.
Because for everyone you touch
you also reach everyone
they will ever know.
And everyone they
will ever know.
And so, for the rest of all time,
your kindness will be
felt in waves
that will spread long
after you move on.

It cannot cripple love; it cannot corrode
faith; it cannot shatter hope;
it cannot eat away peace; it cannot destroy

it cannot shutout memories; it cannot
silence courage; it cannot invade the soul;
it cannot reduce eternal life;
it cannot quench the spirit.
