Critiques
When offering advice, it’s best,
So you won’t be forsaken,
To ponder just exactly how
Your guidance might be taken.
For uninvited judgment,
Even said with good intent,
Might be something the recipient
Could very well resent.
Critiques, although constructive,
Often stick in someone’s craw;
Not everyone appreciates
The spotlight on a flaw.
So I’d tread very lightly,
My objections kept inside,
‘Cause a wound to someone’s ego
Might be all that I’d provide.
