Regarding Civility..
It’s respecting your elders,
And holding open doors;
Obeying your parents,
And doing your chores;
It’s holding your tongue,
And being polite;
An overall knowing of,
What’s wrong and what’s right;
Being courteous and letting,
Good manners shine through;
Removing your hat inside,
Not wearing it backwards or askew;
Being cultured and gracious
To everyone you know,
And when your feeling angry
Not to let it show;
It’s the way you act to strangers,
And helping those in need;
Only with elegance and compassion,
Can civility succeed.
