Listen for...

Listen for 

the love

Ignore all 

the hate-

Listen for

the kindness

Ignore all 

the malice-

Listen for

the laughter

Ignore all

the yelling-

Listen for

the honesty

Ignore all 

the liars-

It's not easy

Nothing worthy

ever is...

It's what I'm

trying to do

today-

Ignore the 

phonies and 

Listen 

for the  

love, 

laughter,

authenticity,

friendship, 
and the

truth.

I'm feeling a bit down today...struggling with some relationships in my life. As always, writing to the rescue. Poetry to the rescue! I needed these words and I'm sharing them because maybe someone else needs them too...
