Love Poem: The Listener

The Listener

I'm the original Super Hero
Called the "Listener", I hear every word
I'll let you talk for many hours
What you say will always be heard

There are many who offer solutions
With the "Listener" it's not about talk
When you desire to become unburdened
I'm more than just a friend, I am your rock

I will help you escape from the shadows
By listening I usher you to the light
When others choose to make judgements
I'm not concerned about being right

With me hours they feel like minutes
You'll marvel as we travel through time
Passing through the doorway of hope
On a feast of happy you will dine

Listening is often underrated 
Today I pass these powers to you
When the masses are all about talking
Every one of them will be needing you

So now go to the world with your powers
Offer compassionate ears and be kind
Carry on the torch of the "Listener"
You are the best kind of friend they will find
