Listen and Grow
I cannot sleep
For I love to be awake
My mind wanders often
And this is no mistake
Told to think and speak less
But still I disagree
A thinking mind is active
More likely to become free
Yet always keep an open mind
Wait your turn and listen
As not to over step or fault
And lose the definition
Scan their words and take them in
And really pay attention
Words can mean so many things
So listen for intention
Learn to love and love to learn
And make life all your own
Learn to sail the raging sea
To conquer all unknown
