THREADS OF LOVE

Respect yourself, a foundation so strong,
It echoes outward in a joyful song.
For all deserve it, a right without claim,
A mirror reflecting a heart free from blame.

A tapestry woven with threads intertwined,
Respect for all, a bond we can find.
From beggar's plea to king's mighty call,
Humanity's worth transcends any wall.

A pauper's struggle, a president's plight,
Respect for each other makes the future bright.
Lending a hand when hardship takes hold,
Compassion's embrace, worth more than gold.
