Respect
R ealize we all have feelings, keep that foremost in your mind.
That way it is less likely, that you will be unkind.
E nsure that you treat others, it's important that you do,
in exactly the same manner, as you'ld like them to treat you.
S ometimes it's very difficult, but do your very best.
You often have to dig down deep, when they put you to the test.
P eople will appreciate when you treat them fair
if your concern is honest and you show them that you care.
E xpect to be regarded, as some one fair and just.
Because of your compassion, you'll be someone they can trust.
C onsider how a person feels, if you're courteous and kind.
Chances are it will instill, a pleasant frame of mind.
T hese suggestions - if they're followed, I predict you can expect,
that the people who you deal with will treat you with RESPECT.
