A VOICE TO BE HEARD


Upon a chance given and taken
Only then may a rose bloom
The sun an rain nourish the flower
Through winter she lain dormant

Now is spring
Life begins with each day reaching for full length
Stretch the imagination
Into the far reaches of your inner soul

With trowel in hand plant new seeds
In a garden filled with love and laughter
Hold onto dreams
They sustain us through the day and help us see tomorrow

Touch earthen soil and the intellect with the same fervor
The clock checks time with the rhythms of atoms
Look to the sky day or night and the stars will appear
Speak silently with a voice to be heard around the world
