We All Need 'It'

That Kind Person

We all need 'a listening ear'

“Anyone can give material things,

but giving attention,

loyalty,

effort,

and honesty

is priceless.”

How true these words are!

We all need 'a listening ear'.

Whilst material things

are appreciated and very often needed,

it is the very simple

gesture of listening

that we often need.

We all need 'a listening ear'.

We all need that kind person

to listen to us

and without judging

because this makes us

feel loved and needed.

We all need 'a listening ear'.

How about us listening for a change?

“It takes a deeper level of commitment

to offer

attention, loyalty, effort and honesty.”

These ‘qualities’ serve as a foundation

for meaningful relationships,

whether it’s family, friends or even strangers.

We all need 'a listening ear'.

The lasting impact

of these ‘qualities’

is unparalleled and priceless.

These kinds of things

build communities

and enrich our lives.

We all need 'a listening ear'.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
