The importance of Listening!

The following poem, which appeared in Happiness Now by Robert Holden, always brings a smile to my face. I hope it brings a smile to you too.  

Listening

When God gave out brains
I thought He said trains
- so I missed mine 

When God gave out looks
I thought He said books
- so I didn’t want any 

When God gave out noses
I thought He said roses
- so I ordered a big red one 

When God gave out chins
I thought he said gins
- so I ordered a large double one 

When God gave out legs
I thought He said kegs
- so I asked for large fat ones 

When God gave out heads
I thought He said beds
- so I asked for a big soft one

Gosh, am I in a mess!

Remember, we have two ears and one mouth for a reason … listen carefully!
