Listen To ME

I hear what you say
Listen to me
But do I hear what you mean

For everyone is different
In what they hear and see
So when you hear what someone says
listen very close

How they say it
Why they say it
and when they say it most

Because what they say can mean several things
You may not change a word
But it can be completely different
just the way it's heard

Listen to me

Favorite Poets: I have always loved poetry but sad to say I haven't really gotten into, individual poets. I truly believe that it is never to late to learn and appreciate others. That is one of the reasons I am here today.

Reminds me

of a comment I have made to life:
I always say just what I mean,
mean seldom what I say.
