Sincerity

Stay a while and contemplate the actions that you plan

I may not be too good at listening, forgive me, I'm a man

Nevertheless I will be here, ahead, beside and back

Covering every side of you, instill the confidence that you lack

Endorsing your many qualities, your courage and your strength

Reinforcing what you already know, and for what your life is meant

Identifying with your pain

Tomorrow is another day, another battle awaits

Yes tonight I'll stand beside you, sincerley worried for your fate.

Very cleverly designed and expressed... thank you for giving us men credit; some of us do listen and empathise... Best wishes, Keith

It was just the way the rhyme fit, plan/man, I am all female John (smile), these words I write just seem to fall out, I don't know where they come from within myself, just that they do, love you John , keep safe , Bless you, Julie xx

Smile~I hope your not a man? Please, tell me that you are not!? Because, then I'll have to change my love factors!? Smile~But seriously!? Although, I can look at this write from another angle? And your possible lack of faith in a mans ability to truly listen? But, not all are the same? Some are very good listeners actually~Its just sometimes, they don't expose all their cards!? Tell me, please!?~"My Love To You Always, Beautiful Julie Cottingham, John!"~Bye Dearest Lady!"~"Happy Holidays!"
