I am bumping some old threads up ....also praying very hard.

And I think I'll post this .....

Listen...Just Listen

If I ask you to listen, will you?
Listen with your heart, not with logic
Listen with your soul,
not with indifference
Listen with your feeling,
not with a story.

If I need hope, don't give me facts
If I need encouragement,
don't give me advice
If I need solace,
don't give me platitudes
If I need to let it out,
don't tune me out.

If I ask you to listen, will you?
Listen with compassion,
not with condemnation
Listen with understanding,
not with argument
Listen with love, not with a clock.
