Here is a poem about respect and reverence by Samuel Ansah Asare.

"Respect your elders all if they deserve; Respect your servants too who you well serve; Respect your father for tilling the soil; Respect your mother for her love and toil.

"Respect all teachers who gave you knowledge; Respect your friend who saved you from the ledge; Respect all good minds who advised you good; Respect the man of God who gave soul's food.

"Respect all strangers who were all Godsends; Respect your foes who taught you self-defense; Respect those evil men who you troubled; Respect the tempter who well you misled.

"Respect your conscience, which tells you what's right; Respect your God who is your Friend and Guide."
