Listen

It feels so good to listen to you

It feels so good to know

I have wisdom to give

For much of my life I know

I really only needed to be heard

When I opened my heart

I was not looking for advice

Just a place to express and pour it out

But so many times I met the brick wall of those

Who somehow forgot to shut their mouths

And open up their ears and their heart

So today when I could just be and give to you

It really lifted my heart

That I could hear more deeply and understand

Knowing not everything I was thinking

Really even needed to be said

And as long as life goes on

I know I will be learning

But the most important thing

I am learning is this

At times people just need to be heard

So open your ears and listen

With your mind and heart
