Let Truth Speak In Silence © Poem by Roann Mendriq

The quiet strength of every hill,
the courage of the calmest seas;
The stoic grace of flowers gone still,
the fortitude of ancient trees.

The battered breeze that gently blows,
the silence of the earth we tread;
The wisdom of a child who knows
the meaning of words left unsaid.

The hope of every leaf that falls
to whisper on a wind gone wild;
The faith of every prayer that calls
softly though shunned and reviled.

May the power of silence set me free,
that truth will speak my words for me.
