Respect
What's wrong with showing a little respect?
It’s not hard to do
Saying things such as
Ma'am or Sir to your elder
I'm sure these are manners
That your parents have taught you
Or speaking when you walk into a room
How about holding a door open for people
Who are walking behind you?
When was the last time you?
Gave up your seat to an elder on the bus
Or removed yourself for the room
When an adult had things that they wanted to discuss
My children please understand
That these things will help you
To become a well rounded, and respectful
Human being
These things are not taught to us
To be harmful or mean
Trust me I know that
Growing up we have growing pains
But I had to realize that it was me
Who had to make a change?
Instead of walking around the world
With anger and strife
I had do build my own situations in my life
'Treat people with the same respect that you want in return
