TRUST!

TRUST

I can only say I’m sorry
Just so many times
Before ones trust is broken
And I’ve left them in a bind
It only takes a little time
To set their mind at ease
To softly just let down my guard
And listen patiently
Too often we leave conversations
Not really giving heed
To each other’s situation’s
Or what we really need
I wish we’d take the time
To gather up our thoughts
Then think about the things we say
Long before we speak
No drama
Or confusion left
To distort
Reality!

Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
How does this theme appeal to you?
Last few words: 
I have many friends and try hard to adhere to this. However I'm very impulsive and very often I speak before I think. Leaving my friends damaged. This idea we all know and understand. As for me it's very to admit. Once you take a certain path it's hard to get back on track, but over time we find true friends who give us unconditional positive regard.

Thanks so much for reading my writing. I appreciate the time you took to reply. Also a big thanks for helping your students
realize who they are and how important that they are to society. I don't ever want to underestimate or set educational limits on anyone. This is a great place to express ones self. It causes you to reflect and analyze deeply before you finish
and save anything. I hope that the "kids" you taught appreciate how much they must mean to you. Thanks again and please continue to correspond with me and others your words are positive and uplifting!

The power of our language can and will change the world.
Successively until our languages become one!
