Analysis of Spread the Love
When your day is slothful
And you're feeling very low.
Just extend kindness to someone,
And let your love show.
What do you have to lose,
By sharing a simple smile?
Speaking just one kind word,
Can go as far as a mile.
By lifting up others,
You elevate yourself too.
This is no myth,
It as been proven true.
Just think if the whole world,
Did one kind deed a day.
Each day for someone,
Everyone would pray.
Imagine the peace
This world could create,
If it chooses to love
Instead of hate.
Call someone today,
And be a beautiful dove.
Show them they matter,
And spread the love.
