Sometimes I dull the voice that speaks through me by my doubt....Sometimes the song that wishes to be free is locked in pain.... Sometimes the beauty that surrounds me waits in vain for my belated recognition.... Sometimes I allow complexity to rob me of the simple songs of nature; and yet I may hold heaven next to me if I proclaim....God's kingdom is eternal and divine.
If I accept it he will make it mine.
