A gesture of goodwill



A gesture of goodwill is gesture of relief
A hope of survival in any religion; and belief
Without which hope will fade away with belief
Sooth you; like watching happy moments' clips

Goodwill gesture may save life of any die-hard
With proper gesture; you can be a life guard
An angel like gesture; is soft touch on heart
Always be a peace of pearl to make good start

It is like killing two birds with one stone
In past it was a jewel of human now it has gone
Can make out someone talking to you in what tone
Wise are those; flying birds feathers; can count

Instead of giving a sweet smile; raise eye brows
Because of negative thinking; in us enmity grows
Don't think of fall out of it; talk just like crows
Will not get anything; except indulging in rows

Take care of feelings while communicating with others
Silence is gold; don't chat like a useless chatter
Repercussions will be far reaching, think being a thinker
Gesture of goodwill is the name of healing touch; brother
