Courtesy

Courtesy is first of all good manners; Just the innate kindness of the heart

Prompting us in every daily contact With our fellowmen, to do our part.

'Tis the ready smile that falls like sunlight On a soul we meet upon the way; Something that will linger in his memory As he presses on from day to day.

Courtesy is listening with attention

When a brother has a word to say. Wandering minds are like a sieve itm thinking, What they catch will quickly run away.

Listen well, it is a noble habit, Look the speaker squarely in the eyes; He may have a bit of truth or wisdom

Worth far more to you than you surmise.

Courtesy is friendliness in action, Helpfulness, and knowledge turned to use; It will warm the heart's remotest regions, Cheer the sad, enlighten the obtuse.

Polish is a bright and gleaming makeshift, Thought to be of Courtesy a twin; Polish is a nicely varnished surface, Courtesy is something from within.
