Listen

Take a moment and listen today...
Listen carefully to those around you and hear what
they are trying to say.

Listen today what ever you do..
Being a good listener will distinguish you.

Listen to their problems and listen to their needs...
Praise their triumphs and encourage their deeds.

You can tolerate their chatter and share in their laughter...
And by listening you can find out what's the matter or what
they're after.

So, take a moment and listen today...
Listen carefully to what others are trying to say

Listen today no matter what you do...
As you listen to others maybe they'll listen to you.
