Ears Are For Hearing - Words Are For Cheering

There was a time I did reflect When I was told to wind in my neck That message was from my peers Who said I had such big ears Well I said I do listen But now I wonder if I didn’t Time and again but I can’t tell If I was just headed for hell I used to just listen to myself Never helping anyone else What a waste my life has been If I couldn’t hear anyone apart from me And if I couldn’t hear anything of good cheer What’s the use of my ears I may as well go to hell to tell the story’s I can tell But who will then even hear If they are all deaf like me DAMO

I thank God every day for giving me ears to hear. Life is pretty empty when we dont' have friends to share the joy and the pain. I enjoyed your poem and also your challenge. Nice meeting you Damian
