What Will It Take

What will it take  
For you to shut your mouth  
To listen more than you speak  
To care about what she has to say
 
What will it take  
For you to own your shit  
To admit you may be wrong  
You are not always right  
 
What will it take  
For you to show her respect  
To behave like an adult  
Intimidation your drug  
 
What will it take  
For you to practice kindness  
To welcome another opinion  
Arrogant to the core  
 
What will it take  
For you to display compassion  
To understand her feelings  
Life is not all about you  
 
What will it take  
For you to love her  
Not how you think she should be loved  
But how she needs to be loved  
 
What will it take......  
She wonders....
