Be Still and Listen

 

As a child it was often difficult to sit still

To listen, why that was quite often tough

Why there was so much to see and do at will

And our parents, my they had it rough

 

But after a story from the Bible, and prayer then

The quiet would cradle me in the dark of night

A big moon or rising mist was nice back when

my pets would accompany me just so right

 

Jesus would talk with me in a whisper so sweet

Like a scene from the Bible or how to be still

It was those times I learned__ so neat

I was God’s child, He showed me, I obeyed His will

 

As I grew, my mind and heart did, too

Example and hands on, Jesus showed me so much

Honoring Papa and Mama, so much to do

To be the best I can be and such

 

Now that I am aged, I can hardly sit still again

Because I can hardly wait to see heaven and all

But I do ever since lessons from Jesus began

I hear up yonder, “come home” child; the call__

 

It all will be worth being still and listening well

To my parents and elders, teachers, and Jesus, for sure

No matter our age, learning in the quiet, to stay out of hell

Cleansing our hearts and walking the narrow way is joy so pure
