When Being Spoken To Poem by Audrey Heller

Many of us, are at fault, when being
spoken to, we don't pay attention and
really don't know, what was said! This
happens to be, a bad habit, then of
course, there's much to dread!
Misinformation, is what you're getting,
which leads to hurt feelings and now,
you're in a stew, instead! You have to
be big enough, to ask that person, to
repeat themselves and then take note,
of every word. Then if you listen intently,
you'll see the difference, of what you
orginally thought, you heard! That's
how we get into trouble, by not paying
attention, as it can lead to bad feelings,
which now, is hard to take. Naturally,
it's not the right way to go and it's a
pattern, you have to break! Being a
good listener, is masterful and will get
you, everywhere. You give that person
respect and show them, you're interested
in what they have to share. Now, I'm sure,
no longer will you not pay attention, but
you'll make sure, youy're all ears. It makes
all the difference in the world and it will
allay, their fears!
