Analysis of Be a little kinder
François Giroux 1982 (Canada)
Be a little kinder
Say hello to a stranger
Give a thirsty plant water
If you see a cat, pet her
Help a friend in need
Bake someone a cake
Plant a seed so it may grow
Into a beautiful tree
Be a little kinder
Be a little stronger
Open your heart
And live a little longer
