Silence

The Silence of a new day dawning For nothing will forever stay The sunrise is always so different As we’re starting a brand new day The Silence of a mother in prayer As she asks God to protect her babies Life is so challenging and she knows it There are so many ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’ The Silence of a father who watches His child in a deep troubled thought Who struggles with life’s many questions Dad struggles too with what he has taught The Silence when a storm is brewing The sky changing from light to darkness The thunder may perhaps break that silence As though Mother Nature is in distress The Silence when the day is ending Sun setting can be brilliant too For this day is over forever We did the best we could, it’s true The Silence looms all around us Sometimes it’s good but of course There’s always the dark and mysterious That comes with life’s uncertain force!
