Listen

Don’t speak

Just listen

It’s okay to be quiet

It’s okay to hear the wind

Breathe

Words are powerful

As listening is to wisdom

To listen

Is to stop and hear those words

Not just what you want to hear

But hear what you need to hear

Speak when you must

Listen is to trust

Listen is to learn

No need to interrupt

You will have your turn

So let others have a turn too

I speak this

Because I’m guilty of this

So from this day forth I promise to speak less

And listen more

We have ears for a reason

So pause

Think

Reason

Listen

Now you may speak
