Iā€™m Listening

Accidental Poet



 

I confided in you

And you answered me

I heard you say

What I needed to hear

I am as I am

Opposed to deceitful ways

Hard as it may be

I try to do as you say

To let go of others wrong doings

Forever a work in progress

  A student of compassion

Ever learning, ever caring

To give as you ask of me

And when you speak

Rest assured

I’m listening

    Pledges we make so easy to break. This one seems sincere. Wonderfully worded it bares the soul

      Thank you soren. I've been doing some soul searching lately and trying to talk to Jesus which I don't normally do. But it feels right to do it. šŸ˜Š

        Some things need to be said, and some things need to be listened to. A two-way conversation is two open minds. Thanks Andy. šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘

        One who was disgustingly rich - dead now, so he couldn't 'take it with him' - said 'The meek may inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights'. He's not inheriting anything now. Doh! Only meek ones like you, expressed in this poem. šŸ™‚

                This feels like it came straight from the heart and has a truly nice feel about it my friend .. Neville šŸ‘

                  Thanks N, I'm not overly religious, but I do believe in God, Jesus and Heaven. And I'm not used to talking to God or Jesus, but this is just me trying to reach out and talk to him. šŸ˜‰
