The wind is whispering in my ear
Words of loving comfort from those who are dear.
Words of faith, truth, and wisdom
That will lead me to the everlasting kingdom.
The wind is whispering in my ear
The things in which I most fear,
Like wrath, hatred, and damnation,
Yet is teaching me how to overcome temptation.
The wind is whispering in my ear
In a language so distinguished and clear,
That tells me exactly what to do
To forever live in peace with you.
The wind is whispering in my ear
As I shed a single tear
In thankfulness, that I am able to hear
Your words which brings us so near
And gives us great cause to stand up and cheer!

I wrote this poem the summer before college. Heaviest on my mind was leaving home and going to college, and not being sure where my new adventures would take me. I was ready and excited to go, however faith wise, I was a little worried...knowing that statistics showed that the majority of kids "loose their faith" and/or stop going to Church after they leave home. I did stop going to Church while at college, but I wouldn't say I lost my faith. I did return to Church several years later, however I did change denominations! ;)
