I know you always hear my voice
Please help me hear yours too
At times I fail to listen
Sometimes I get confused

I lay my requests before you
All upon my plate
But I don’t listen when you say
That I need to wait

Sometimes I rush into my day
At full speed ahead
Not taking time to slow down and hear
Your gentle voice instead

Then I find myself so angry
Frustration running round my head
That’s when I stop and ask myself
If I heard anything you said
