Sweet Silence

Do not change the gift of what will be Of brilliant silence Wrapped in touches yet to come For less that’s offered now. Sweet silence filled with sighs to come In times not yet enshrined In memory sweeter still Makes waiting easy. Sweet silence filled with songs to come From children not yet born Is silence filled with tears of joy, And silence not at all. Sweet silence fills my heart, my soul A gift from those I love And lifts my heart in joyful song In grateful silent prayer What will come is brighter still than what has been So do not change the gift of what will be Of silence wrapped in touches yet to come For less that’s offered now.
