Respect is the gentle whisper, the quiet strength we share,
It binds us all together, in ways beyond compare.
It’s in the way we listen, with hearts and minds so wide,
A beacon in the darkness, a light that won’t subside.

It’s found in every gesture, in every word we say,
A simple act of kindness, that brightens up the day.
It’s knowing when to speak up, and when to hold our peace,
A balance so elusive, that brings our souls release.

Respect is in the footsteps, we leave along the way,
A legacy of honor, that time cannot decay.
It’s in the way we cherish, the lives that cross our path,
A testament to love, that outlasts any wrath.

So let us walk with reverence, with every step we take,
For respect is the foundation, of every bond we make.
It’s the silent strength within us, that guides us through the night,
And as we give it freely, we step into the light.
