I promise to listen (poem)

It just struck me that all these years, I did not really give my listening to many people, esplly to those close in my life. I do realize its importance and value. Today, I realize the potential caring in it, just to listen with all my attention, without judging, blaming, complaining, reacting or closing. Now, I am asking God to bless me to express His caring to each being I meet.

***
Listening is a gift,
I can give to anyone,
for it is much needed,
to be heard without bias.
