Time To Talk

How are you ?

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.
