Short but striking—this really says a lot with so few words. That line “Look within yourself and mind your own business” is golden. A reminder we all need sometimes!

Good point, gossip doesn't help build trust!

Dean Anne-Lise, absolute truth and wisdom! Love the wisdom in this poem! The message is so relevant and timely. 'Moderation is the best option' and 'Look within yourself and mind your own business' are such great reminders to focus on our own paths and not get caught up in unnecessary drama. And I totally agree that trust is built on discretion and understanding. truly thoughtful words! Love, Anne

I appreciate the truth in your words. I continue to learn about the value of moderation, for when I decide to do something I am extreme about it.... seriously. Hugs, Sara

Kuddos! Love this poem .... so so true ... in my life, how many so called friends thrived with gossips ... just walked away from them ... I rather have few friends or be alone than listen to their nonsense.

That's the absolute truth, Anne-Lise. Too many judge when it's not their right to do so.
