So Glad Am I To Have Discovered Listening Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I was not able to listen,
I would not grow...
To comprehend to say I know,
Anything.

So glad am I to have discovered listening,
As something meaningful I do to improve...
My ability to communicate an appetite for it.
With an eagerness to appreciate life as is.

Learning when to be silent with lips closed,
Takes effort and determination inspired by desire.
Knowing there is always something new to welcome,
And experience.
