blessed be the 
 Silence… 
 as it calms the earth 
 with a blanket of snow,
 as it soothes the mind 
 with a noiseless repose,
 as it warms the heart
 with what the soul now knows…
 …blessed be the 
 Silence…
 the touch anonymous,
 the prayer of tenderness,
 the purr of confidence…
 …blessed be the 
 Silence…
 in her mystery
 she calls out to me
 just as longingly
 as I do Thee…
 blessed be the 
 Silence…
