“Respect”
Do my attitudes and habits reflect respect?
Or do other’s needs I neglect?
Inside and outside my door am I aware…
I must show that I care!
To other’s needs I must be alert,
If not, I am in danger of acting like a jerk!
Outside my door I must pay attention,
A thoughtless act may cause harmful contention!
I must understand the world is more than me,
I need to practice respect…that’s the key!
As I go about my day,
Respect keeps disregard at bay!
At day’s end did I act with respect…
Or did I act with neglect?
Envoi:
Each day as I arise,
I must engage respect
for the wellbeing of all I meet!
