Today is my brother, Henry IV’s birthday. He would have been 36, the same age as me. Every year for 6 weeks he used to tease me that I couldn’t boss him around because we were the same age. Well, you know how that turned out 🙂

In memory of my brother, my cousins and all those we have lost too young, I dedicate this song. Once they are gone, they will never know how you loved them; you will never get a chance to show them. So be kind and always act in love.

Try a Little Kindness

by Glenn Campbell

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he’s sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you’re going the wrong way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you’ll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don’t walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you’ll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

RIP Henry Darley Anderson
