 I Heard a Voice 
By Kathleen D., Fredericton High, Fredericton, NB
  
Along a vibrant meadow blows,  
a voice whispering upon the breeze.  
A song of gentle tourniquet,  
to bring your tired soul to ease.  
To kiss your quiet eyes to rest,  
to wake you in the morn.  
To stitch the tender quilt of life  
along the seam that has been torn.  
In the light dancing across your face,  
I gently touch your hand.  
The feeling of sweet sanctuary  
of toes buried in the sand.  
A wind that keeps your heart to pound  
to save you of the future nigh.  
A kind reminder of the reason  
to keep your spirits high.  
Of why the voice takes the time  
to cradle you to peace.  
Of why I sit beside you  
to keep your restless soul at ease:  
To see the face of love and hope  
lied across the grass.  
To feel the pure sacred Heaven  
of the morning mass.  
The identical feeling  
brought by family  
to keep you safe  
in infinite immortality.  
Hold my hand  
feel the power of choice,  
close your eyes,  
believe into the voice.  
I'll give you strength  
in the peace I'll bring  
As we believe,  
as the voice sings.
