Listening Ears Poem by Ray Hansell

The wisdom I've learned
Through the years
Was passed on to me
Because, I had listening ears

But it seems so many people
Already have their own plan
But watching the things they do
The less I seem to understand

They'll tell you they don't need advise
Because they have life figured out
But it seems the more they talk
The more I hear self doubt

Hopefully, before it's too late
They'll listen to what others say
Just like I did when I was young
And learned so much along the way
