"When it came to listening

My mother taught me

 

Open heart and silence

 
 

When it came to speaking

Said it is not done with the mouth

 
 

But through thought and patience

 
 

When it came to being

Said be tender and rough at once

 
 

For you must remain vulnerable to fully live

But tough to survive it all

 
 

When it came to choosing

Said be thankful and willing

 
 

For choices were the one thing

She never had the privilege of making

-Rupi Kaur
