Respect is a two-way door
Use it correctly
It’ll come back to you
Respectfully for sure
Be mindful of others
When and when not to speak
Give space to a grieving heart
A hug for eyes that leak
Humor can always wait
For more deserving times
Leave well enough alone
Until more positive signs
The law of averages says
What goes around
Quite naturally
Comes back around
In life
If you wish to be respected
You must also be worthy
For you will be inspected
When you truly respect yourself
It is then you invite from someone else
Show that you have it to give
That its not something to sell
Kindness goes a long way
In caring for each other
We’re all siblings
Of sisters and brothers

A fine write AP.
I must have caused misery to millions, cos what goes around, comes around - KP 'comes around' haunt me! lol.
Oh, the drama. Spare me the drama. 🙄
Wow. Powerful.
Thanks Thomas.
Such true words AP, respect is a thing that can take time to earn and milliseconds to destroy.
My respect for you has always been there.

And vice versa Andy. Thank you Sir. 😉👍
AP; this is a much needed message in today’s world. Thank you for sharing this. I hope it reaches many.
Thank you GenXer, I wrote it for a friend who was disrespected, and I wanted to show that respect like you say is much needed in today's world.
It is.
Amazing work AP.
