Grandson poem is for the grandson that has always owned your heart.

When we practise the art of listening, we say to that person, “You matter. I’m interested in you.” and that’s why it is so important for parents to work on the art of listening – listening is one of the most loving, respectful things we can do for someone.

This poem was inspired by the busyness of motherhood. It’s written from the child’s perspective as a gentle plea to slow down and steward their little hearts while they are still in our care.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. Inspiring words from Kahlil Gibran
