To be seen.
To be understood.
To be accepted as you are,
is often a greater gift,
than you could possibly,
imagine.

It is the love you give,
the time you spend,
by simply listening,
that can heal,
the deepest wounds.

So, instead of judging,
sharing advice,
or giving your opinion,
hold back,
and listen!

See the person.
See their heart,
and feel the words,
they speak to you.

This is the way,
to move forward.

This is the way,
to support, love,
and lift another soul up.
