Listen

Just a simple smile
 can warm the coldest heart
just a doodle on a page
 becomes a work of art
just  a moment can last a lifetime
when our memories are clear
sweeter as the days go by
 to tell a lending ear.

Its funny how the old folks 
love to talk the night away
until you become an old folk to
and the humor starts to fade
Memories of days gone by
things you did and didn't do
regrets, mistakes are all counted 
as lessons through and through

next time an old timer
has an important story to share
listen closely to what they say
they tell you because they care
wisdom comes through living
be reverant to them now
this is their way of giving 
if you listen some way some how.
