When your dear ones

 have a heart with small doors

and when their minds are narrow,

You may have to move first

you may need to bend and bow.

Holding back, may build a wall

for suspicious mind turns deaf

to a friends call,

Mutual rancor leads to war

just stretch your hands to heal that scar.

 

With mind pristine and pure

reciprocate your feelings with a gesture

next time when you meet

with a pleasant smile,

do wish and greet.

Welcome them with open arms

with loving heart and open palm!

 

Hold gently, without grinding knuckle

for it’s the sign of aggression

and a cold fist grip

is lack of conviction!

Shaking hands with honesty

often bridges the gap

dilutes ego, sublimes animosity .

So, let it not be a fake

Next time when you have a hand –shake

find the difference you can make

remember my friend for heaven sake
 life never has a retake!
