Listening Prayer

by Kathy Harrison

I will listen with my heart
So that my mind will not forget
The power of the words you speak
So that I may love without regret
 
I want to touch your heart and soul
With words that edify
I want to listen patiently
So that I won’t make you cry
 
In all my busyness
I will make you number one
To let you know how much I care
Until our time on earth is done
 
I choose to honor you my spouse
In all I say and do
Knowing that I will fail
And you will fail me too
 
Forgiveness is a breath away
Because I choose to give
The best of me… and that is Christ
In whom I choose to live
