Listening Is Better Than Talking
Listening is of such great value
compared with just doing talk
this has been my real experience
makes one stand alone like a rock
Having had a stammer all of life
I have learnt to listen far more
for listening is much easier
as talk is so noisy and such a bore
An active listener is so rewarding
hearing sounds that are so rare
truly magical to listen with intent
ear and hear make quite a pair
Learning to listen is such a gift
taking in all that's been said
this bring such comfort to the speaker
for their words show what's fed
Listening is better than talking
it's so liberating made to fit
so many need a patient listener
giving real time can stop one quit
