Listen, listen Dear, within yourself.
Listen to the stillness.
Listen to the peace and quiet.
No more hurry,
No more worry,
No more stress,
No more strain.
Know that you are loved and lovable,
No matter what you have done.
Find the love that is your essence and your heritage.
The love of God,
That is there for you now, today.
And for all the days of your life.
Listen and be grateful.
