THE ACT AND ART OF MANNERS.

Manners, in the act and arts of man is where character and grace converge, 

Where lies the art of manners, profound and true, A beacon that guides us, me, you and us all.

For manners, they say, maketh a man, 

A mirror reflecting our soul’s grand plan. 

Reflective in every gesture, every word we choose, 

Our essence shines through, leaving no excuse.

When we lend a hand to lift another, 

Or listen with empathy, like one who cares, 

We weave threads of respect, nice and kind, 

Crafting connections that withstand life’s duress.

Simple acts, like a warm greeting shared, 

Or a heartfelt smile freely declared, 

Ripple through time, leaving traces unseen, 

Planting seeds of kindness where love has been.

So let us practice such social graces, 

Creating a haven in our shared spaces, 

For manners are more than mere etiquette, 

They’re the foundation of trust, the bonds we knit.

And as we navigate the maze of life’s intricate dance, 

Remember, dear all, that in every circumstance, 

That manners, like stars in the night sky, 

Illuminate our path, guiding and lifting us high.

So let us be vessels of kindness, grace and care, 

For in these small moments, we truly can dare 

To build bridges of connection, strong and real,

As well as pave the way for relationships to heal.

Embrace the art of manners, let it be your creed, 

And watch as it blossoms into a life well-seeded.
