Silence Poem by Marilyn Lott

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!
