Respect

Administer these as a sign felt or shown

Believe qualities and good ideas, politeness, honour and care shown 

Consider the importance of commands to teach, earn and gain the formidable figure of she, the one who is admired by others 

Inspire and devour the respect earned from those who see you as a hero 

Win time and time again the grudge respect from he whom you, yourself respect so much 

Win over and over again the trust from she who housed your body from fetus to she who now lives and walks on planet earth with pride and vertue 

Teach yourself that teachers deserve equal respect as doctors and lawyers, as you would give that respect to your parents 

Administer deep feelings elicit by ability, quality or achievement 

Care enough to think about your impact of others as you grasp the difference between having and showing respect 

Administer the heart that cares 

Respect!
