 ECHOES OF THE HEART

Are You Listening?


What is your MIND telling You?
Is it rationalizing what is true?
Is it saying Knowledge must stand tall,
Is is telling the truth-do you know at all?
Reason must be utilized, that's true,
But it's not all there is--there's much more to You!

What is your HEART to you saying?
For your Good, is it praying?
Is it crying to be heard
Over the call of this old world?
Are you listening, do you hear,
It beckoning, both loud and clear?
Or has Conscience been ignored--
To seek enjoyment-that should be abhorred?

What does your BODY have to say
As you use it day by day?
Does it too call out in pain--
Seeking escape from undue strain?
Are you listening-to it's plea
"Slow down, take better care of me!"

And do you listen to your FRIENDS
As advice to you they lend?
Seek only your own good,
Do you listen as you should?
Not that these the calls should make--
But consider them for your sake
For into our lives God them sends,
To aid us-so hear out your Friends!

Are you Listening? Do you care?
There's Love, concern everywhere!
From without and within--
Speaking to us, foe or friend.
Be discerning, and take heed,
Be thankful for these life leads--
How precious to us life is sharing,
Let us listen and be hearing!
