A Whisper Poem by lindsey ashton

Have you ever been sitting alone, and heard someone whisper your name?
you look around, there’s no one there, no one you can blame.
You question whether you heard it, there’s no reason you can find,
You just think you’re maybe tired, tricks of the mind.
Try to recognise the voice, of the whisper that you heard,
I’m going to tell you a secret, the voice behind the word.
Each and every one of us has a spiritual guide,
An angel if you will, always by our side.
Sometimes they’ll try to talk to us, to let us know they’re here,
But life can be so hectic, its not always possible to hear.
They can try to do it in other ways, these you may recognise,
Like a strong smell with no explanation, or sparkles before you eyes.
When you hear a high pitched ringing tone, in one ear not both,
that’s your guide hugging you, or simply just getting close.
Now you know my secret, look out for these signs and see,
Do you recognise the voice or smell, is it someone who used to be?
Sometimes when our loved ones die, they miss us like we miss them,
They come and join your guide for a while, to be with you again.
So next time you hear your name whispered, listen to how it sounds,
It could just be a friendly hello, or a direction that you must follow.
Don’t be afraid of your spiritual guide, they’re here to help us through,
And sometimes a visit from someone you love, just to be near you.
You can even try to talk to them, and ask them what to do,
Just relax yourself, and take deeps breaths, they’ll get the answer to you.
So smile when you hear your name whispered, they want you to know they are there,
Your angel to show she never leaves you, your loved ones to show they care.
