Respect

 Respect can be shown by doing small things 
 We all can appreciate the comfort it brings
Giving is something only you are capable of deciding
What gets in the way is pride
People often tend to forget that others have feelings 
Being inconsiderate and rude in their dealings
Choosing gossip over communication
Hurting others with their fabrication and behind the back talk
This isn't the way things should be so, alternately we opt for courtesy
Our differences need not lead to yelling
The way we handle ourselves is the key here and is quite telling. 
Respect can't be ordered, it can only be given as a gift
Trust is not demanded but earned, get the drift
Love can't be begged for or taken, it can only be given from the heart
Reaching out to someone and trying to make their day is not the end, it's just the start. 
Show respect even to the people who don't deserve it not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours. 
Always, give respect and take respect! 
You can't force someone to care, love and respect you as much as you do but never settle for less than what you deserve and refuse to be disrespected.
