Words To a Friend, I Lend

O- My friend- To you my heart begs
To rectify all your wrong steps
Let choose the right way your legs
For which, let me give valuable tips
A sure grave for all, time digs
into which, every soul trips
Know to love which helps
Slow and steady develops
Blow heart gets, if tongue slips
Aim for gold, insult not silver
Criticize never as it ever hurts
To all kindness, if you deliver
You can set right even perverts
Assure love to those who shiver
Love and calm are tools of experts.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
