Use Your Voice
A voice, heaven sent
God speaks through you
And you’ve spent
Time for and with others
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
A voice, speaks for the unspoken
Offering a token
Of respect, love and compassion
Attention, not attraction
For those who need it
And you exceed it
Expectations and so much more
A voice, caresses the soul and heart
For a child, doing your part
Shows concern
A word, a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph
More powerful than a photograph
Burns into your conscience
And will never let go
A voice that constantly reminds all
To use your instrument
And never take it for granted
A voice
Your voice
Use it
