Are you ok mate ?
A simple little phrase…
A question that which sparks an answer,
From any concerns that might be raised...
We all at times have problems,
Which some carry everyday…
Let’s try and change their focus,
With a mate and say G’day !
A phone call is a start,
Keep in touch with those old friends
A random visit will surprise them,
It’s time to make amends…
Reconcile those differences,
Who are we to judge…
For we are not all perfect,
Life’s too short to hold a grudge…
Listen with compassion,
Offer some advice…
But don’t leave until their smiling,
Some laughter would be nice…
Family and friends are what defines us,
Inspiration and wisdom for all to share…
Ask them if they’re ok,
It will show them that you care ….
