Today I will listen
Without interrupting
Without prejudicing
Without second – guessing
Without gazing
Without rehearsing
Without discounting
Without filtering
Without correcting
Without contradicting
Today I will just listen
Today I will listen
With attention
With humility
With respect
With patience
With understanding
With awe
With gladness
With empathy
With warmth
With gratitude
With reverence
