If someone calls you a thief,
Who has stolen his peace,
Try to solve kindly his grief,
By bending before God knees,
This will give definitely relief,
To both of you with great ease,
Friendship may face at times hardship,
Relationship may submerge like a ship,
Worship forms with God a partnership,
Friend's mind you must pacify,
By doing something concrete,
His heart, you must gratify,
By healing which is complete,
It is better you carefully verify,
If his feelings have turned sweet!
