Gershon Wolf Poet Enclosed Rhyme

When

When a teacher is kind, the students mind
   When she's too stern, they just can't learn

When a father explains, happiness reigns
   If he loses his cool, his kids think him cruel

When the boss lends an ear, the employees hear
   If they're turned away, there's a price to pay 

When a judge shows mercy, he limits controversy
   If he rules too strictly, he seems mean and prickly 

When former enemies unite, it's a wonderful sight,
   If one is forgiving, both their lives are worth living
