Affection

Seek not the fault of others,

To cover those which we contrive.

We at best or worse, must see ourselves

In a sincere, myopic sense of reasoning.

 

I beat not the horse for being lazy,

But for me neglecting his love.

We have to cradle his head with affection,

Before  asking him for a ride.

 

Aren't humans in this league also?

A kind word goes a long way

When you are talking with friends

And shows how you appreciate them.
