Miss Understood

I hesitated
Sorry I brought up the subject
I choke up
But he insisted
So I blurted it out

In the end I bared it all
He listened
He said he understood
And sympathized

I didn’t buy it but
It felt good to tell him
The weight off my shoulders

This is the reason I will always have a job, Line, for my job is truly "trained listener." The other part of that is "be quiet and do not give advice unless they have a mind that cannot come up with any answer for themselves" - this is the HARD part of listening. I am glad you have a good listener, my friend.

Indeed there will always be a need for trained and caring listeners. They are hard to find.
