TEACH ME TO WHISPER

TEACH ME TO WHISPER

Lord, teach me to whisper instead of shouting
when the children get on what's left of my nerves;
Teach me to speak ever so softly to them
so that my love shines through, as I reprimand.

Teach me to whisper if I feel the need to complain,
for if I really want them to listen to what I say,
whispering will work wonders (proved to be true),
and my love will shine through, as they listen.

Soft words can be spoken no matter the trials
and will not leave a mark on their hearts,
so let me consider how I choose to communicate;
teach me to whisper as my love shines through.
