The first time I heard or became aware of the sound,
It was like faint music far off in the background.
I was only a small child at the time
I found it to be soothing and sublime.
Life has a way of affording quiet treasures,
That gives us enormous pleasures.
As I look back over these many years
It was, when overcome with paralyzing fears
Because the inner voice warned of loss and danger.
Not knowing whether it was relative or stranger.
That the presence of the soothing murmur
Let my calm resolve become firmer.
Slowly, in time I began to understand,
That this was my Lord and savior close at hand.
What a joy to know He was by my side
To protect, comfort and be my guide.
I came to know that sound as a whisper so low,
Like the blowing of the wind to and fro.
It brought me total peace of mind,
Along with a deep sense of being aligned
With benevolent Father up above.
Who governs with perpetual love.
I know the day will come when I hear
His angelic voice loud and clear.
Beckoning for me to come home
And reside with Him in the celestial dome
"Have no fear for your loved ones are here .
Family and friends will greet you with good cheer"

How great is the sum of them ! |
