Premium Member When a Person Respects You Potd


Wow! Please do count yourself 
exceedingly blessed!
You need not meet their requisites,
to pass a friendship test.


They allow you a fragrant, flowered 
leeway.
It’s not the ice cold, rock hard,
pavement of “their”way!


Respect means giving your sister 
or brother, expressive room.
Not sealing them like death, in a “my

Our Last Respects
Our Last Respects...

One final day we pay our dues
As the ferryman comes to take us away
No more fear of what’s to come
Just a sea of tears with the rising sun

Your family and friends are with you
To see you on your way
Another part of the journey...

My Respects
A second has passed,
Now a minute has gone.
Is it going too fast?
It seems so long.

A few days, he was fine.
A few days, no-one cried.
How weird it seems; Time.
That and life flashes through eyes.

I cry for the family,
I cry for the friends.
I cry for them all,
Those...

Respects To Be Paid
I feel we all have some respects we should undoubtedly pay.
For sacrifices made to ensure the life we all have today.
When we think of heros, we often think of war.
But easily forget those who's battles happen next door. 

It's with pride that I honor a...

Paying Respects
The casket’s draped in purple,
Which is what the crowd expects,
As they inch up in the queue at last
To pay their last respects.

They’ve waited there for hours
For a minute with the Queen,
To bow or curtsy or salute,
A touching, tender scene.

Each somber guard stands by
With no expression...

In Many Respects
That was a golden time of my life,
When I and my friend play a lot,
Nobody has complain for children,
Sun grows and dies we never care.

Very few police comes on a round, 
Very simple, on a bike and had a stick,
People’s crime was only theft or
They...

Premium Member She Respects Me
“She doesn’t respect anyone.”
“No, she doesn’t.”
“She is horrible,” the lunchroom teachers agreed.
“She respects me,” I said.
Dead silence.
“That doesn’t count,” one replied.
I already knew this....

Premium Member Japan Respects
Before we walked in, before we arrived, 
The place had been tidy and neat,
Everything was washed and polished and fresh, 
In this beautifully odorous suite,

We felt at home, relaxed, out of sight, 
To use everything that was there,
The showers and towels, benches and sinks, 
And...

Premium Member Patience
Unworthy one cent coins
Make up the consuming world
Unworthy coarse sand under your feet
Makes up the wonderful garden
Unworthy sweating manual workers
Make up the manpower
Unworthy short minutes
Make up the precious lifetime
Unworthy strenuous struggling
Makes up the patience to win
Everyone and everything will have their values 
And may deserve...
