Diplomacy is a wonderful skill
With deep sensitivity and much finesse.
It will not tower over another
Or use unkind words its point to express.
Its words are measured with kindness and care,
Spoken with thoughtfulness, having impact.
It will not wound or leave you in doubt
But works to heal feelings and keep them intact.
Diplomacy rules out confusion and angst
And works toward solution, well-being and good.
Oh, how much better the whole world might be
If diplomacy's wealth were just understood.
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath."
James 1:19 KJV
