LISTEN TO THE SILENCE

HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE SILENCE ?

  

 Have you listened to the silence

When day is nearly done?

Do you remember little quiet times

When your day's race is won?

Our days are full of noise and bustle

And at times become a riot,

So when day is done - at least for me

It's nice to listen to the quiet.

It's nice to sit and rest a while

And hear the things we oft forget ~

The velvet silence of the darkness

Where day and night have met.

  

A time of contemplation,

A time when we can restore.

A time when we can prepare ourselves

To go on as we did before.

  

A time to listen to the longings of our heart.

A time to gather strength and peace

A time to count our blessings.

And give thanks for joys that do not cease.

  

So sit and listen to the silence ~

Enjoy the quiet that evening brings.

Find comfort in the special time ~

Find peace in so many things.
