Listen to the rain drops,
On the window sill,
Steady and consistent,
Calm you down it will.
Listen.
Listen to the silent night,
After a long day that's tiring,
To questions that we muddle over,
Answers it will bring.
Listen.
Listen to the birds,
Early in the morning,
Greet the day with a smile,
And everything will be charming.
Listen.
Listen to a chant,
Meditate on a prayer,
Free your mind,
Its a slick player.
Listen.
Listen to your body,
Don't ignore its call,
Keep an eye on your health,
Treat everything, however small.
Listen.
Listen to your child,
Busy though you may be,
They grow up so fast,
Faster than you can see.
Listen.
Listen to the person,
Who is trying to explain,
Give them a chance,
To ease their pain.
Listen.
Listen to reason,
The truth is not far,
Show some empathy,
And it will leave no scar.
Listen.
Listen to your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Give it a shot,
Impossible though it seems.
Listen.
Listen to your conscience,
That little voice that warns you,
To rethink your words and actions,
And helps you see what's true.
Listen.
Listening is a talent,
Not many have this skill,
You have much to gain from it,
Better your life it will.
