Be Still.....

Saxon Crow

Be still my child
Listen to the word of God
Be still I say
And know that you are loved
Let go the shackles
To your troubled mind
Surrender to his eternal voice, inside
More gentle than a whisper
But etched upon your soul
These words are yours
Freely given by our Lord 
Do not be distracted 
By the shining one
His music is but a glamour
To make you feel alone
So be still my child
Put your faith in the Lord
And listen in the silence
For his words are full of love. 

Inspired by Psalm 46:10

          How beautiful your words are Saxon Crow. Pleased I stopped by this morning.

          Be still my child. Listen and learn. Such sound advice in a world of conflict. Have a happy Friday.

                            Hey Sax - you are missed. But when you come back, why not one of your secular fables?

                            • Saxon Crow

                              I'll get there mate. Or give me a topic and see what nonsense I come up with haha

                              • Doggerel Dave

                                I'll give it some thought..... I'm flat out finding topics for my self right now... Good luck anyway.

                                • Teddy.15

                                  Topics to write about

                                  The colour yellow
                                  Sex and the over seventees
                                  Dolly and Matilda
                                  When Gary met Harry
                                  Why the wind blows
                                  How long until Christmas
                                  Gertrude in the garden in her birthday suit

                                  Well there must be something with all these topics! Well done Dave and best luck Saxy 🤣 if anyone can do it you can

                                  Sorry for Butting In bogs hugs form teddy 🧸

                                  • Doggerel Dave

                                    A brilliant and fully endorsed list Teddy.👍

                                    And Sax - time to sharpen the quill.🫵

                                      💙

                                      • Doggerel Dave

                                        Further review, Sax - before you enthusiastically get down to work, may I respectfully suggest that you focus on the first suggestion and the last three.......... maybe Gertrude first in case she's feeling a little chilly.....

                                      • Goldfinch60
