Listening as you go through life; <br /> to loved ones, teachers, and others <br /> with knowledge that will help and <br /> prepare you for the road of life. <br /> <br /> Listening is a pleasure when birds <br /> sing, flutter their wings, a purring cat <br /> and a barking dog warning you of danger <br /> or someone special coming for a chat. <br /> <br /> Listening is what our leaders say. <br /> They must stop and listen to each <br /> other in order to agree on the way <br /> needed laws are made for this country. <br /> <br /> Listening is a needed precious quality. <br /> Just imagine if you no longer could hear <br /> or listen, what a great catastrophe <br /> and a very sad misfortune that would be.<br /><br />Alice Bina DeSantis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/significance-of-listening/
