Don'T Be Quiet: Poem by Sherry Painter

'Don't be quiet,
Be loud,
For as it was God who gave you a mouth,
A voice,
So you could speak.

He gave you a brain,
So you could think,
And a heart so you could love

He gave you things for a reason,
Don't go unnoticed in the world,
For as He gave you life,
So you could make an impact on someone in the world,
No matter how many people it was, or will be,
One, or one hundred.

So don't be quiet,
Use your voice for what you think is right,
MAKE A DIFFRENCE!
Who knows,
It might just CHANGE the WORLD,
OUR world,
MY world...'
