Day Thirty and One

Scream
holler
voices raised

Why do my children
only listen when I yell?

Beg
plead
whine

before I listen

God you whisper
still small voice

I'm begging
I'm pleading
I'm whining

scream at me
holler at me
raise your voice

I will listen

  1. Sounds just like George Herbert's poem The Collar, written in 1633
