If You Love Her

Listen to her with all of you
   Your fists clenched
   Your lips together
   Your head moving, slightly, side to side 

Perched on the edge of your seat
   Tilt your spine forward
   
Search for the soul deep within her eyes
   Gently ... Don't frighten her

Make her feel she is the most important person in the whole world 
   Nothing else matters except what she is telling you 

Hear what is in her voice 
   Her interests ... become yours 
  
Capture her heart
   Never let it go

Tansy Roekaerts Date: 9/10/2020 8:20:00 PM That is the way to capture her heart. Sadly no man I know of knows this. Your lady is lucky. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/11/2020 1:51:00 PM Thanks for the acknowledgment, Tansy... I just do the best I can to 'shut-up and listen.' ... Learned from the Patriarch Abraham, whom God told: "Listen 'in' her (Sarah's) voice," meaning that Abraham should hear the tone and timbre of his wife's voice. I.e., he should hear her emotions first and respond to them... Someone once taught me to say 'You sound upset,' or 'You sound frustrated.' Works wonders. Thanks again and Happy Weekend, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner Date: 8/13/2018 2:31:00 PM My hubby and I are celebrating our 13th in September - part of what keeps us going is he makes me feel like 'the most important person in the whole world' and I try to do the same for him - the last two lines certainly captured me!
