Smiles and hugs work so much better

Than words sent in messages and letters

For those who inform and advise with care

Are likely to win points over those who dare



To attack and accost with their hurtful words 

For these are narrow minds full of pain to share

Where it all comes from is just anyone's guess

But the fact is - these minds are not at all blessed



Beautiful people share all they can with each other

For they have goodness deep down and are brothers

And share that goodness with all they come across

For their minds are free, and so life is full, not tossed



- Tristram
