What makes one adored?

Everyone wants to know

A trait that you can’t ignore

It is with whom one feels the flow

Share the joy, share the woes

Life’s stories are infinite

Especially when one is in the throes

Best stories shared are not intimate

Instead, common problems faced in life

That plague everyone each day

Just flex your mental muscles as you strive

No solutions will be kept at bay.

Share with one who is patient and understands

Share with one who listens and makes sense
