Correction through Affection

Always avoid an argument,

Please tell only the truth,

Without causing resentment,

Expression must be smooth,

Understanding, it will augment,

It is wrong to be harshly uncouth,

Wish never to be damn selfish,

Admonish self not to be peevish,

Relish living till you finally finish.

Make the needed correction,

Without injuring the ego,

When you show real affection,

Into every heart you can go,

Via practice reach perfection,

This truth was derived long ago!
