Don't listen with your ears
for your ears
will only hear the words
Don't listen with your ears
those words
could be filled with lies
with hurt
with anger
with pain
Don't listen with your ears
those words alone
cannot convey the truth
Listen with your heart
Listen to the heartache
the regrets
the hopes
Listen to the cries
for help
and understanding
Listen to the scared
the lonely
and the lost
Don't listen with your ears
They'll only tell you words

Very wise words.
That's sad and sweet at the same time. <3
Very beautiful.
Thanks, Jemi. A lovely way to remind us of something very important.
listening with heart is something too many of us forget - myself included.
So very true, Jemi. I agree with Marcy that we forget to listen with our hearts sometime.
Thanks Alex :)
Thanks Tara :)
Thank you Diane :)
Words are really the least of our communication some days!
I think we all do - it can be incredibly difficult at times!
We do. I've had a lot of kids at school practically begging for people to really listen to them
Hi human, Jemi,
Well stated, my thoughtful, articulate human friend. My doggy heart listens and my big floppy ears focus on the voice within my heart.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny! 🐶
No doubt about it Penny! Our furry friends have SO much to teach us humans :)
That was lovely, Jemi. Thank you for sharing.
So very, very true Jemi. Thanks for sharing, it was moving.
Love this so much!! Great job.
Powerful. I got chills.
That's beautiful, Jemi. We should all try to listen more with our hearts.
Thanks Jeff :)
Thanks Mason :)
Thanks Chrys!! :)
Awesome Jemi. I liked it. You have a way with words.
Hi Jemi,great to hear you tie in hope to romance. Too many people add romance or action or whatever and that's it. By adding a second concept like hope or bringing about justice or amending a relationship is the difference between a good story and a great story.
