Do You Watch, Do You Listen, Do You See
When you woke them up, at the crack of dawn
Did you smile at them today?
Did you pour a cup, with cream and love
Then send them on their way?
Did you drive with ease
Not hog and squeeze
On the road to work today?
Did you offer space, in your place in que
At the crowded store today?
Did you keep your grace, when the others raced
To crowd in front of you?
Quite often through our day
We say the same old line
How are you today?
They answer ..."I am fine."
But do we really listen
With hearts that open wide?
Painful stories may be hiding
Behind a mask of pride
Next time you ask this question
Just watch before you start
Their eyes may be revealing
So listen with your heart
