honor and respect

when you are given disrespect and dishonored--it hurts deep:
it can bring you to your knees to weep:
when another gives you disrespect--its so easy to return the favor:
but if you do only negative feelings will endure:

a person has to take the higher road and show respect:
even after you were given dishonor and neglect:
it is when we rise above the low:
that inwardly we we greatly glow;

it is in doing what is right:
that we will feel warmth and delight:
when you are wronged and dishonored by another:
treat that person with honor and respect just as your loving brother:

it will be a positive seed that is planted:
the seed may not take right away and you probably will be taken for granted:
but take the road to honor and respect even though you were put down:
stay consistant in your good will and sooner or latter the other person will turn around:

when you give honor and respect great blessings will be bestowed upon you:
love honor and respect all others in each and everything that you do:
