Are you really Listening?

Are you really Listening?

A Poem by Michelle Lea

Listen! Did you hear that?
Sounds like thunder from a really
bad storm. No, listen__
Sounds like your little brother
practicing on his drums.
Hush and Listen__
Maybe it's just the sound of the
bombs from the nearby Army Base
during their practice session.
Ok, be quiet now. I mean really
Listen___
It's the sound of children's
lil' footsteps while playing
hopscotch in heaven!
You weren't really Listening__
were you?

Beautiful, we all do need to listen more intently.

Thank you for reminding me that we should stop and listen more. Yes, I adore the smell of my lil ones hair after he sweats outside... I adore the sound of his "real" laugh. I enjoy the sound of the oldest playing basket ball out side (as annoying as that may be at times).

I simply need to stop to listen more. THANK YOU.

What a wonderful sound to be able to hear...........and sometimes we don't listen closely enough, do we?
Lovely write, and very descriptive.

It's the sound of children's
