The Listener ~

I stood aside and watched a while 
the little acts that made me smile 
your doing this, your saying that 
the pleasant things you're busy at 
some little quirk and then you'd half 
begin to frown but quickly laugh ~ 

It was as though I looked into 
the lively, private world of you 
then suddenly you turned to me 
to query why so quietly 
I sat there with no word to say 
as though it was a tiring day ~ 

I hope you really understood
when I was telling you how good 
it was to see and hear and know 
that all was well with you, and so 
I'm writing now to make accord
assuring you I was not bored 
a visit's not all say and do 
it can be happy listening too ~
