Trophies of His Grace

The Silence

—by Teresa
(From the Toggles Connection Newsletter)

Lost in a sea
Of unknown voices,
I wonder,
About their secrets.

The sound of their pain
Garbles together,
Until I hear only
The confusion of accusation.

The pit grows deep
Swallowing us up,
And I wonder if we should
Stop this insanity.

Is today a good day to die?
A vote is taken,
I am left, being a slave
To their decision.

Sister Mary,
Ever so faithful
Calls upon a Heavenly Father
I do not understand.

A Father Who brings sudden silence
To the confusion of who I am
When He calls to me:
“Child, you are Mine.”

In the stillness of His arms,
We find Truth.
