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.
