Hearing the Words


from the ABC set WHISPER HIS NAME prayers & poems

Faith dresses up in words
From the pulpit
Leaping across faces
About truth forgiveness

Thoughts reflecting
Possibilities

Can the Lord truly help our
Children change?
A couple dares to think

Hope is eternal says the Pastor
As if reading their thoughts

Man and wife continue to pray

Stop that! one child says Mom!
He’s pinching me the other whines

Help us make it through another
Day is a silent wish.
