You never seem to see a man anymore get up and offer a lady his chair

Or remove their hat inside it’s like they are afraid to show their hair

 

It seems people will no longer take time to hold open a door

And it is unusual to even hear someone say thank you anymore

 

People just don’t seem to care about showing each other respect

Some of you may even take offense at me talking so direct

 

Today a woman at the store just let the door shut in my face

She was heading for a fountain drink like she was running a race

 

Whether it is showing a little courtesy in public or while driving your car

You may find out you like being courteous and it’s more rewarding by far

 

If people out there treated everyone like they were a sister or brother

It would be such a better world full of courtesy and respect for each other

 

From My World To Yours,
