Silence

Silence is golden like the song

The soft shrill of early morning

To sit and breathe in and out

Without a care

The ebbing of the wash of the tide

As one walks along the shore

Of people not thinking but love more

When bereavement comes and sadness there

One can only sit and stare

A walk through the park

And see the green trees

And children everywhere

Cats are given to sit on laps

Tapes are made to relax

Families and people argue

But peace comes from within

Sometimes pills given can juggle up and down

A headache comes,and we lay down

Sit in silence before prayers

And empty our minds and thoughts and cares

Listen to the music no talk within

But some may like to have a glass of something

Anxiety anger,noise and bustle

Can higher blood pressure

And cause other troubles

Our Priest says breathe in the good,and let out the bad

And be thankful for what you have

Silence comes from reading a book

Or to paint or learning to cook

And thank God for each new day,

But start the morning and pray
