I can talk

Think

Reflect on the past, present and future.

I can sing

I can read

Tell stories in 1st, 2nd and 3rd person.

I can write

Wear good clothes

Dress for the occasion without overdoing things.

I can keep a diary

(And have done so since 1970)

I can recall in minute detail, past happenings.

I can remember names

Of past students

And enjoy some remembrances shared with them from time to time.

But

Above all

I can

And do

Listen.

Listening is such an important attribute and a quality and capacity I have AND USE.
