Because I Care
I can pick up the phone and call friends from kindergarten
Some answer, others don’t
Most answer
Because I have nerve and verve and I want to be friends
and we have a history
and we love to share it
I am a listener
Sometimes I say “uh-huh” and “hmmmm” for an hour on the phone
While I paint and my friends ramble on and on
Some of the stories I have heard nine thousand times
I laugh like I have never heard them before
People love to be approved of, admired and listened to
I have friendships all over the place
because I care about people
and I let them know it.
