Lend an ear

Lend an ear
Lend an attentive ear

To your heart broken friend
To your angry customer
To the elderly and the old
To your grumpy boss


Lend an ear

To your colleague who has had enough
To your partner who just loves to talk
To your younger siblings who are curious
To your older siblings who are gossipers

Lend an ear
Lend an attentive ear

To someone who is in pain
To someone overjoyed
To someone who doesn’t want to talk
To someone who is never heard

Lend an ear

To your chattery watchmen
To your friendly waiter
To a complete stranger sitting beside you in a journey
To the people closest to you in the journey of life

Lend an ear
Lend an attentive ear

To gain wisdom and knowledge
To be always interested in whatever you do
To appear curious and attentive to others
To be a good listener

But do also lend an ear

To ease somebody’s heart
To share somebody’s joy
To dissipate someone’s anger
To make someone feel special

Lend an ear
Lend an attentive ear

At times it means much more than lending a helping hand
At times it is all that the other person needs
At times that’s what makes you special

At times it is the best thing you can do and have to do
