~ What Whispers Need ~
The cry in the
darkness of a frightened child,
awakened by a nightmare in sleep
the look in her eyes
of terror so wild,
he helplessly watched her weep….
“Oh, Daddy, how
awful,” she whispered to him
“I am so scared, please
make it stop!” she cried.
As she said to him in
the light so dim
I’m still your brave
girl, I have tried.”
Now a beautiful bride
on her wedding eve,
So nervous, yet sure,
her love so secure
“My husband, my Love,
it is to you I cleave.
Take me, I’m yours,”
she whispers demure...
The years slide by,
with swiftness they flee
She finds herself
coping with Mother’s death
“Please, Mama, “she
whispers, “do not leave me” -
“Please, God”, she
whispers as she sees her last breath.
With death comes life
with the approaching birth
of her own daughter’s
child from her womb…
“Come on, now”, she
whispers “push dear - it’s worth
all the pain-no, I’m
not crazy-I know you’ll assume!”
As more years unfold,
the bad with the gold
She whispered her
prayers without a façade -
And as she lay dying
once she was old,
No whispers were
needed as she returned home to God.
