Sonnet: Respect

Respect your elders all if they deserve;

Respect your servants too who you well serve;

Respect your father for tilling the soil;

Respect your mother for her love and toil.

Respect all teachers who gave you knowledge;

Respect your friend who saved you from the ledge;

Respect all good minds who advised you well;

Respect the man of God who gave soul’s food.

Respect all strangers who were all Godsends;

Respect your foes who taught you self-defense;

Respect those evil men who you troubled;

Respect the tempter who well you misled.

Respect your conscience which tells you what’s right;

Respect your God who is your Friend and Guide.
