What is Heard Best Heart Whispers The new babe fretted and simpered, Then fussed, began to wail and cry The new mother became distraught Tried to sing a sweet lullaby But Grandpa he came right in And with gentle ease took the child Whispered softly in babe’s ear The crying became cooing, mild ~*~*~*~ The football hero loudly proclaimed “Here’s my girl, she’ll carry my name!” And while she smiled to many cheers She wouldn’t be a prize of the game But when a young man smiled at her, Spoke awhile in soft conversation, Whispered once in her young ear, Decades saw anniversary celebrations ~*~*~*~ The minister was young and brash He was proud of his righteous fire! Preaching was his calling sure He’d bellow loud with his inspire Old woman turned off her hearing aid But sang all the words of the hymn, Whispered softly within her heart Thus, had the full attention of Him. ~*~*~*~ The Angels hovered o’er Virgin bride Came and lingered by her side Whispered, “Jesus is his name today” Softly now to Jesus we pray Although we may raise our voice in song Jesus hears heart-whispers all along ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 17 December 2000 revised 17 December 2001 |

Very sweet and gentle, the poem touched me, I really like the way each pair of stanza worked toward the final couplet. It’s nice to know we are heard no matter how softly we whisper. Bill |

Sunshine--All teachers know that the best way to get the attention of the class, is to whisper. Lovely message in this tender poem! |
