THE WHISPER OF A VOICE
ROBERT H GILBERT, JR
APRIL 21, 2007


The road I am traveling, is suppose to take me home.
But: day after day,. year after year,
home is nowhere in sight.
These burdens and sorrows that I carry,
is sure dragging me down.
Think I will stop and rest for a while.

I closed my eyes as I rubbed my tired ole feet.
Then the Whisper of a Voice, so soft but loud, said,
“Get up, You’ve not much further to go”.

I guess I was dreaming cause as I looked around,
no one’s there.

I looked behind me, no road did I see.
But, as I looked ahead, the road went on for miles and miles.
How much farther must I go?

After days of walking, my feet hurt and my body exhausted,
I had to stop.
Surely, home must be just around the bend?

As I sat down, I could see some lights,
Home!! It must be home.
The Whisper of a Voice, so soft but loud, said,
“Yes, You Are Home”.

I turned and looked for that soft voice.
There stood my Mom.
“See there”, she said.

I turned to look in the direction she was pointing,
and I could see the Earth, so far below.
