When you hold back, and learn, to speak less
you will learn, to listen more, and be at your best

When you speak more and more
you will, become, boring  to others, before too long, for absolute sure

If you are wise, you will learn, to speak much less
and to listen, alot more, everyday, for us all, this is a test

Many times we ramble on and on, about me myself and i
then before we know it, we are done with the conversation, and we depart and part, our ways and, say good-bye

Then when we are alone, we come to realize
that we didnt even hear the other person speak, and we feel guilty, that we monopolized, the complete conversation, and even a word from them, we didnt let them speak, they didnt even try

When you hold back and learn, to speak much less
you will enable others to speak more, and to feel,relaxed,comfortable, and at ease, at there very, very best

Be, quiet, and slow to speak, and listen, really listen, so much more
you will, greatly, be appreciated, and so much more, be respected by others for, definite sure

The greatest compliment that one can ever recieve
is  that you are a great listener, and others, by your side, happily, comfortably, will stay, and openly communicate all, and everything, so freely, so openly, so trustingly, and lovingly, and, from your side never want to leave
