The Listener
I revolved in this read.
I am a listener.
So much so that
often I'm
misunderstood
or not listened to.
I do spend my time
listening
more than
than being
heard.
or not listened to.
I do spend my time
listening
more than
than being
heard.
However, there is a story here.
“You know Susie,
whenever you meet people,
whenever you meet people,
always remember
that they were born into this world
that they were born into this world
as innocent beautiful little babies,
like your new niece.
And, when you meet people
who have had challenging lives,
who have had challenging lives,
or you just can’t figure out
what has happened
what has happened
remember that not everyone
has the happy ending
or the happy story.
or the happy story.
Life and circumstance
does and will
does and will
impact people
and that it’s our job to be kind,
and that it’s our job to be kind,
to love and to see beyond what may be
right in front of us.
right in front of us.
Sometimes, we will be asked
to help them
to help them
see the beauty of them
that was there at birth.
that was there at birth.
Life is an interesting place,
and you will meet extraordinary
people with stories
that will impact you forever.
I chose Compassion,
I chose Love.
What do you chose?
