Listen Learn Love

I wear my smile on the outside of my face for a reason. There are so many who need to see it. Unless it becomes a sarcastic smile. I hope I do not have one of those. But we never know how people take things. There is a belief in my head and my heart about love. I think that is why God put us here. To instill hope, love and confidence in others. Not just our family and friends, but…. Strangers, teachers, clerks in stores. I think our language should be love and hope and peace. Call me Pollyanna because I like it! Call me child-like for Jesus appreciated the children. The child will lead, is what he said. But do not call me childish, for I am not that. Listening is as important as learning. Maybe more important. I think listening, learning, and living are why we are here. I do all three in great measure. With enthusiasm and excitement.

Excellent poem, beyond very good. So many fine ideas here, Caren. I, too, believe "listening is as important as learning."

I do too Hank, and it is the way only 7 percent of the population learns, so we need less lectures and more visuals and field trips
