If I Tell You Something by Mike Williams 03/18/2016 @ 11:44 a.m.

If I tell you something truthful, 
Something with meaning deep. 
Would you take the time to listen, 
Or hear only with intent to speak? 

People so often like to talk, 
But few truly give an open ear. 
They're interested in what they say, 
And very rarely ever hear. 

I pour out what's in my heart, 
Or what is inside of my mind. 
It's like speaking into the wind, 
It seems that is what I find. 

Would you listen to what I'm saying, 
I wonder what you'd learn and keep? 
If I tell you something truthful, 
Something with meaning deep.
