Speak in simple terms.
Seek to be understood.
Strive for clarity
And be patient.
Keep an open mind, and
Show empathy. Be kind.
The world needs gentleness.
Touch it with loving hands.
Remember: where you go,
Others have surely gone,
As others will surely follow.
Cry, if you must, but seek,
After, the laughter.
When you balance things,
You will always find more good
Than bad, more laughter
Than tears, more joy
Than sorrow.
This is your world, and
The world is also what you
Make it. It is all quite
Simple, really – as simple
As the terms you use.
Go, then, and speak softly.
