Respect is earned,
When you embrace who you are.
It flourishes mutually,
No matter if you’re big or small.
Respect embodies understanding,
The essence of being strong.
It should be extended to all,
Whether they’re right or wrong.
Respect is a profound admiration,
A testament to God’s creation.
So, give respect freely,
In every situation.
