Be gentle with one another
the world is harsh enough
Be gentle with one another
think the best without judgment
pass on praise and caring
softer words chosen carefully
Be gentle with one another

Be gentle with yourself
accept your faults and imperfections
Be gentle with yourself
think the best without judgment
Let your spirit be free, your heart peaceful
Be gentle with yourself
listen to the voice inside...
but...

   only when it lifts you.
Not a favorite but I thought of it when I read a rather caustic work recently. Sometimes strong words of disapproval are needed. Sometimes they're best left unsaid. (As the old adage says "If you can't say something nice...")
