Dedicated to those who listen.


THIS BLOKE STARTED TALKING

I was siting minding me own business

Thinking me own thoughts you know

The you kind of thing I think you do

When this bloke sat down on a chair

At my table

And he just suddenly out of the blue

Started talking to me

Now I did know him from a face in the

Crowed , and I'm sure he did not know

Me

Well anyway as I said he talk and talked

Man did he talk some

I listened , well what else could I do

I had no idea of who he was talking about

But the bloke sure need to talk abut what

Had accord in his life

My tea now tepid cooled right down as he talked

And I listened to the bloke talking

Some times I thought I saw a tear welling up

In his eye I thought I saw a tear

I detected a choke in his voice

As he talked and I listened

I must of said something cant remember

Just what I said , but suddenly the bloke

Was smiling grinning

He got up thanked me shook my hand

Thanked me and said '' thanks mate ''

'' I will do just that ''' '' thanks again ''

I replied '' no problem ''

He went leaving rather puzzled

What had I dun , all I did was listen

. . . and what a rare thing that is. Antoine De Saint-Exupery said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself." I have no doubt that process, any care and connection between two people, begins with listening.
