To Listen

Is to Understand

Is to Bear

And Welcome

The Burden of another

We all hear

We all judge

We all control

Before we are willed

To Listen

So we Believe

So we Trust

So we Obey

The words of one

Who couldn't possibly know

To Listen

Is to Acknowledge

Is to Accept another

Is to See their World

Is to Hear their Hearts

Is to Feel their Pain

And

Is to truly Love them
