Whispering To Me

And when the palm trees whisper,
                    they’re whispering for me
They surely know the secret
                            of how I can be free

Serenity, they whisper
                          they flutter in my ear
Reminding me of something
             perhaps, I’ve lost through fear

That life is meant for living
                        and love is all we need
That simply through my thinking  
                        I’ll find that I am freed

No more the anxious worry
                        for what I can’t control  
Instead, allow the heavens  
                          to guide my very soul 

When next I hear them whisper
                 when next I hear their song
I know I’ll be contented
                            and I will sing along
