Sara, a short free verse that express so much. Actually, it's difficoult to find people, friends...that can listen, and if nobody listen, it's imposible to learn or empathize. Good job. Blessingsxxx

Thanks for your visit, Marie, and for sharing your insightful comments. Like you, I believe listening is a lost art these days. Kind of sad. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Wise words Sara.. and I hope everyone could follow these words... people always make faith what they want it to be.. so it is important to have good moral and principles... you said so much in only a few words..

thanks for your visit, Silent One. I agree. People want to make faith whatever they want, sometimes without really 'listening.' Having a moral compass is paramount in my mind. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

thanks, Gershon, for your comments. I was taken aback with your accolades. I'm grateful for them, though, as I'm grateful for you. Have a pleasant Wednesday evening, Sara
