THE VOICE OF LIFE

I found a molluscan shell in the beach

And asked it why it was special?

It answered “ Listen to me, I’ll give you my answer”

I did and kept it to my ears

In its silence, I found out patience

In its silence, I found out hope

In its silence I realised trust

I realised faith and belief

In its silence I gained my energy

In its silence I gained my strength

In its silence I gained my confidence

And more in the Creator of all

Atlast I realised that it wasn’t silence that I was listening to

But I was listening to the voice of life.
