Extinguishes the twinkling of a sailors guide. <br /> Promises of a brilliant, warm day as birds <br /> Begin stretching wings; the sky changes from <br /> Midnight blue to bright yellow, then baby blue. <br /> Rustling in the trees above; <br /> Squirrels begin chasing each other. <br /> The last star diminishes in light; <br /> I say this to no-one, just myself: <br /> "Star-light, star-bright, last star I see tonight. <br /> I hope what I say, I say it right. <br /> My darling, as you read the word I say to you, <br /> HOPEFULLY OFTEN, <br /> Remember that I am but a SIMPLE person, <br /> Just HUMAN!" <br /> <br /> I ONLY have ME TO offer; <br /> I AM... <br /> <br /> But a simple person, <br /> Not having much to offer but ME <br /> Three inhabitants are within MY heart <br /> In constant control of EACH thing I SAY and DO. <br /> I LISTEN to each partner, UNDERSTANDING, and COMPREHENSION, <br /> Are able to control the other inhabitants of MY heart. <br /> I LISTEN, not just with my EARS, <br /> But with MY EYES, as well. <br /> For MY partners to effectively perform THEIR mission, <br /> I MUST "listen" to the surrounding environment - <br /> The WAY the words are said, the 'body English" involved. <br /> UNDERSTANDING must receive all this information <br /> Before the "true" intent of what is said can be absorbed. <br /> COMPREHENSION must receive ALL this information from LISTENING, <br /> And UNDERSTANDING <br /> So HE is properly capable of controlling the many distant <br /> Relatives of MY "moving inhabitants". <br /> These distant relatives I call "MOVERS". <br /> These "MOVERS" make what I have to offer YOU - ME, <br /> BUT A "SIMPLE" person.<br /><br />Glen A.
