Voice

Yvette Francis

Voice to speak
Why don’t they listen?
Voice to teach
Do they really learn?
Voice to whisper… to soothe
Will they take comfort?
Voice to declare… truth
Will they run away?
Voice of courage
Voice of beauty
Voice of grace
Voice of wisdom, love and joy!
My voice goes on…
The voice I have earned
The voice that always has been
Now unencumbered
Now free
Now me!
All me!

Mentioned in this episode:

One Poem Only submissions are open.

I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
