Competition.

In your car the radio is always on,
In your house the television set,
And so you never hear my silence
Or a soft word gently spoken.
What I really wanted to say to you
Can’t be shouted above the competition.
I wanted to be your friend,
Not a distraction.


John H. Bidwell.

Your words here are so small, their message so large.
Write on, John.

Well done. Silence is golden, and good conversation is a lost art.

John, what a powerful little poem! How much we miss, simply by not giving our full attention to the person speaking to us. We sometimes miss those little tell tale signs that let us "read or hear" that persons message of love, pain, hurt, want etc. This poem states this situation so perfectly! Very well done, my friend!
