Fine I hope Life’s a bit rubbish, but we can cope A stream of words, we have to ask Such relief , completed task But did we stop and really hear Or did we rush because we fear Someone will tell us they're not feeling great Scared of saying the wrong thing and how to relate So let's start again, how are you feeling today? I’ve got time to listen and value what you say Be open and let the conversation flow, Remember it’s ok to feel anxious , it’s ok to feel low Providing support, showing you care The power of listening and just being there ❤️ Thank you so much to Angela for sharing this timely piece, a reminder of the power of listening to those around us.
