Listen

This human connection is made with the heart not with the tounge

Just listening with humility an empathic ear

A beautiful thing happens when we really communicate from here

Be kind, as they hurt inside

Be tolerant, as they hurt inside

To pass along a wonderful life

Listen to those you love

An opportunity to touch thelives around you

Don't miss it

With gentle awareness, don't interrupt or react , listen

Recognising our shared existance

Call it oneness, unity, some call it love

This is what everyone is looking for

To be heard, to be seen, to be loved

Just listen

Sometimes all a person wants is for you to just listen

With authenticity, never rushing past

Sincerity keeps pace and never finishes last

Kindness and honesty are there

To soften even the presence of an angel combing her hair

Set yourself free

Within this exchange, respect and caring are other words for empathy

This human connection is made with the heart

Their voices though tremulous crave understanding

Never criticisim or crticise

There's tremendous beauty if you just listen

As you look in their eyes

Being as kind and forgivingas silence

Hearing these words is the movement of love

Listen, be patient, be courageous

and

Just listen
