THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
A Poem by forrestcook

I TRIED
So many times we forget to set aside a quiet time to let our Heavenly Father speak to us. We just don't seem to find the time to read our scriptures and study His word. If we want to hear the 'still small voice' of the Holy Ghost, who speaks for our Father, we must learn how to listen....
I tried to speak to you today, whispering softly in your ear. But you were wearing headphones, so My words you couldn’t hear.
I watched all day for just the time I could share all My words of truth. But it seems you were too busy, so My words could not get through.
I thought perhaps in evening time you would seek a quiet, still place; you would read My book and listen, but instead you chose MySpace.
At last t'was time for you to sleep, so in dreams I could share My words; but the T.V. was still blaring, and I knew I could not be heard.
My child, why do you close Me out? Don’t you know you are My seed? I want to help you with your life, I’m here, let Me fill your needs.
But you must choose the time and place, you must choose to let Me guide you; And choose to put the world aside, so all My love can come through.
