God was very clever
When he created us
If we use the things we have
We truely have enough.

If you tend to be opinionated,
I think that you will find,
More can be accomplished
When you keep an open mind.

We have two eyes to see,
The beauty from above,
The sense of touch for feeling,
And a heart that feels love.

God gave one mouth for talking,
Two ears to hear birds sing,
We should listen twice as much
Before we say a thing.

Be proud of being assertive,
And use this gift with care,
Being assertive is not uncommon,
Good listeners are very rare.

"We should listen twice as much
Before we say a thing."

~  and I 'listened' twice to every word you wrote before 'saying' what I think of your poem.

Wise words from Bama Man!

Toerag,

This is well organized and written.  It pays to be a good listener.  Sometimes there is even money in it.
