Why kind rhymes the way it does
To understand why kind rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the open /aɪ/ diphthong, written /aɪnd/ — and the ending, which ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 236, assonance 3,007, and consonance 429. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With kind, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
