The Art Of Listening...

jaimeleigh

Knock, Knock... Who's there...?

It's only me, Don't despair...

I just wanted you to know that I'm there...

Just wanted to show that actually I care...

Here I am putting myself out there...

I'm genuine, not pretend...

I could tell you needed a friend...

You're faith in me is not another dead end...

This I promise you from the start...

I'm here to restore your faith if I can...

This is coming straight from my heart...

It's not gonna happen over night...

This I had to learn from my own plight, had to gain my own insight...

Time & patience is key...

Still no body see's me...

That doesn't mean I don't see when others are in need...

That's when I step up, & step in...

Acceptance of the world around me was how I learned to be what people sometimes just need... 

A good listener & shoulder to cry on...

& I can make a banging cup of tea... Oh yes indeed...

I don't want anyone to suffer what I had endured...

No one bothered to listen often occurred...

To forgive, To learn to let go, To move on & go with the flow...

So here I am as you already know...

I know how to listen, so off you start...

I can't fix all problems but I'll sure give it ago...

There's an art to listening...

But it's not hard to know how to do...

It's quite a simple principle really... 

If you wanna be heard, Then you too should learn to listen...
