Manners: The Melody of Grace

In a world where chaos often reigns,

Manners are the gentle, guiding reins,
They weave a tapestry of grace,
In every heart, in every place.

Like honey's touch on a bitter tongue,

Politeness, like a song, is sung,
With words as soft as petals fall,
Manners matter, one and all.

In simple acts of courtesy,

We find the roots of empathy,
A smile, a nod, a kindly deed,
Can sow the love that all may need.

With etiquette as our compass true,

We navigate this world we're in,
And find the path to kindness through,
A world where empathy can win.

So let us cherish manners dear,

For they're the songs that others hear,
They light the way, they forge the link,
In a world where love is what we think.

For manners are the gift we share,

To show the world we truly care,
In the dance of life, they are the art,
That binds us close, heart to heart.
