Respect is a whisper, gentle and kind,
It speaks not in words, but in actions defined.
A nod, a smile, a listening ear,
These are the signs that respect is near.

In a world that often shouts and demands,
Respect is the touch of tender hands.
It builds a bridge where none might stand,
And heals the heart with its soft command.

Through storms of anger and seas of pride,
Respect is the anchor, steady and wide.
It teaches us patience, it shows us grace,
And gives every soul a sacred space.

So let us honor the silent strength,
The simple ways respect is sent.
For in its presence, we find our place,
A world united, a human embrace.
