Silence Poem by Rita Umali

how I wish for silence to come
that my heart may stand still
to rest in your silence Lord
Silence my heart Lord
that I may listen to your will
and not my own
that I may hear the people around me
Silence my mind Lord
that I may see your dreams
and not mine
Silence let it come
into the core of my soul
that I may rest
and stop doubting
letting faith grow
I hear you Lord
as my heart stand still
silence that fills
a rest I need
