Don't Be Such a Fiend

You don't need to be such a fiend,
Just find yourself a friend,
One you can keep to the end.

The sooner the better,
If you want to be less bitter,
No longer a head butter,

Become more reflective,
Find some perspective,
Feel quite restive.

Make your house feel warmer,
Give your eyes more glimmer,
Your heart less of a murmur.

Give your words less sting,
When you decide to sing
Or have an opinion to bring.

Having time to share,
Will no longer be rare,
When you begin to care.

As word gets around,
More friends can be found,
Now how does that sound?

Thanks for giving me a spot. I gave it my best shot, while on the trot. Best regards David in NZ
