Respect
you listen         to what i say                             you give an intelligent response                             
you listen         when i read what i have written            you hear me
sometimes you struggle to understand               you are patient             i am the same
you see what i do         you see me                               and i see you
we smile at each other     this thing called respect         is something exchanged
you open your heart                 and i open mine           respect is like a river
which flows in both directions             north and south            with respect comes love

Oh, how I love "respect is like a river / which flows in both directions". A wonderful write, my friend.
Totally "something exchanged" and, in that exchange, being seen. How wonderful to sit and think and find that there is some, and we experience it. Thank you.
Yes I agree with the flow of respect.
Have a nice Wednesday
Much love...
Love it It was like you spoke straight to me and we found an understanding and respect. Beautifully written
"respect is like a river / which flows in both directions"...You've nailed it Annell.
Truly captured the meaning and feeling of respect, Annell.
Yes! You nailed it, my friend. And both directions are necessary for positive change to occur. Thank you,
Elizabeth
Amen to that.
