Listen to poem:

I Want To Know You

I can see your soul
Through your eyes
Past your superficial exterior


I can know your feelings
In the tone of your voice
The way that you move
 

I can understand your thoughts
In the things that you say
And the way that you say them

 
I want to know you – Susan  Manley (C) 1985
