What is Heard Best The new babe fretted and simpered, then fussed and began to wail and cry the new mother became distraught and tried to sing a sweet lullaby But Grandpa he came right in and with gentle ease took the child whispered softly in babe's ear and the crying became a cooing mild ~*~*~*~ the football hero loudly proclaimed "here comes my girl, she'll carry my name!" and while she smiled to many cheers she didn't want to be the prize of a game but when a young man smiled at her, in soft conversation spoke awhile, then he whispered softly in her young ear and down the marriage aisle went they ~*~*~*~ the minister was young and brash he felt he had the righteous fire preaching was his calling sure and he'd bellow loud to inspire the old woman turned down her hearing aid but sang all the words of the hymn whispered softly within her heart and thus had the full attention of Him. ~*~*~*~ and the Angels came to the Virgin bride came and hovered by her side whispered softly "Jesus is his name today" and softly now to Jesus we pray although we may raise our voice in song Jesus hears heart-whispers all along Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

This is a beautiful poem of contrasts, Karilea-which makes quite a bold clear statement. And this is a good point you are making here, unlike the thinking and ways of man, we don't have to shout to get God's attention- we already have that whether we want it or not-- but if we want His audience-the only true connection we can make is heart to heart. A lesson we do will in our relations with others as well. Well done!!! David |

This is so beautiful and true. Sometimes soft-spokeness (lol is that a word?!) is the best way to reach Jesus. You are an amazing poet! Merry Christmas! God Bless and Keep Smiling  ~God is watching us from a distance~ Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:3 |

 In this world there are so many voices and none of them are without significance.... This poem reminds me of when Elijah headed up the mountain after listening to the wrong voices in his life... While he hid in the crevices, a strong wind tried to get his attention, then a fire, and even an earthquake.... but, finally God spoke to him in a small still voice. God Bless You, Bob <>< |
