Make Time To Listen

Make time to listen it saves lives
I had a uncle who loved me,
He played sports with me.

Make time to listen ...
don't talk or give advice.

My uncle had a tattoo of me,
he called it sattes.
Make time to listen
With your help they will live.
My uncle died
He didn't have anyone to listen.

Make time to listen
See what happens,
Make people live.

Please  Listen  To  Me
Please  listen  to  me
When  I  try  to  talk,
You  always  walk  away.

I'm  trying  to  talk  to  anyone,
But  they  just  talk,
about  themselves.

I've  got  someone  to  listen  to  me  now,
I'm  feeling  much  better,
Now  I've  got  the  message,
into  someone  else's  head.
Make  time  to  listen.

Make Time To Listen

People are sad every single day.
So try to make time to listen.

Talk  to them ,say to them,
We're here to help them.
We try to make time to listen.

So when you are sad,
It's really bad,
To keep something inside.
Don't try to hide,
We'll always have time to listen.

Samaritans

Someone to talk to,
And some one to care,
Makes you feel better,
And they'll always be there.
Ready to listen,
In their headquarters await
The phone is ready to communicate.
All around people with no time to listen ?
No one cares and no ones your friend ?
Samaritans are there for you.

by Kate Chisholm




It's Good To Talk !
But It's Better To Listen !!

It's Good To Talk
If you feel bad
or your parents are separated
over a fight
and you are worried.
Try to tell someone.
Someone you can trust.
It will make things better.
It may not solve your problems,
But you'll feel good.
So try, just try,
try to tell someone.
It's good to talk
but it's even better to listen !


by Aladdin Rowell



Listen To Me

"Listen please, mum."
"No I haven't got time
so go out and play!"

"But Mum,
please can I tell you something."
"No, I'm busy getting tea,
go out and play I said."

"But Mum,
please, I need to tell you something."

"Go on then, come onto my lap"


by Catherine O'Ware
