Listening Poem

When I ask you to listen to me
And you start giving advice
You have not done what I asked
When I ask you to listen to me
And you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel that way
You are trampling on my feelings
I ask you to listen to me
And you feel you have to do something to solve my problems
You have failed me, strange as that may seem
Listen!  All I asked was that you listen
Not talk or do -- just hear me

-Anon (from the book Families on the Move)
