How Are You? Just Jenn
“How are you?” “I’m fine”, I said You smiled and walked away You didn’t really see me Or hear what I had to say I could have shared my problems But you didn’t want to know I said what you expected And you were free to go
Waiting at the grocery store The clerk asked, “How are you?” Her concentration quickly turned To pushing items through “My leg fell off, the hamster died” “I wrecked my car today” “That’s nice”, she said Gave me my change And sent me on my way
How often have you asked someone “How are you today”? Then turned your thoughts to something else Not hearing what they say What if we really listened To make sure that things were “Fine” How many people could we help If we just took the time
