He listens intently…
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
I’m listening
Yes really
My ears are all your yours.
I’ve stopped all distraction
And all of my chores.
Your face bespeaks troubles.
I won’t condescend.
So just tell the story.
Right through to the end.
A friend has this function.
While others rush round.
You’ve found one in me.
Yes found solid ground.
