Notes About The Poem

Tell Somebody

Tell Somebody

We walk through life from day to day, 
Sun up to sun down; and then hours into the night. 
We try to find a path that will meet our feet, 
with challenge, and not regret. 
Regardless it is a hard road. 

Yet…

Miracles are real. 
Have you ever seen angels dance?
Have you heard a child laugh, 
after being sick for a long time?
Have you ever seen a mother, 
hold her infant close? Safe.

Have you ever listened to rain drops on leaves?
Wind rushing through trees?
Bird songs that echo like memories, 
we… long to repeat.

I have walked in dark places. 
I have a need, to speak. 
All that I must say…
I have no words!

I would sing you a song, but I am bad at that. 
I would cook you food that might help with the shakes. 
Yet, it is never “I”, but “Him.”

A small bird can do nothing else, 
but spread seeds as they do the very thing, 
they are meant to do. 

Amen.
