my little voice
by A. Paige WhiteIs mine
to use with kindness
or with use unkind
Today I will use it
to express what my eyes have seen
what my ears have heard
how with a touch to the deepest places
spiritual places mostly undiscerned
some new presence came
the one for whom I always yearned
He gave to me my voice
to use this way
to have His boldness
given a choice to say
there are many spiritual things
there are various spiritual beings
in this world that spins each day
topically filled with beings
composed for some, at most, of clay
and the spirit decomposed
when we tried it our own way
Now by His kindness I'm trying to try
all things new, His way
and give greatest heed of all
to all that He would say
and listen for His voice
when He gives me pause
and with cause, His stops.
For the few who would want to read
my voice, I ask Him to whisper
drawing very near, so close you
feel His breath gentle to your ear
and greater yet the blessings
to those who pass on by
seeing a title of little interest
little voices, some run to shy
some run to, or from, the why
some will stop to read my voice
just because they hate
what I say and look for ways
to belittle or berate
for those my little voice
asks most a blessing at His hand
to cup their ears with gentleness
and whisper of His plan
to shine light in darkness
bring healing for all the pain
and to know when His voice falls silent
His gentlest presence remains.
