A Voice That's Heard

Location

Sometimes I just want to be heard,

E'en though I'm small, my voice not loud.

I tend to blend, be out of sight,

Hid to the side, out in the crowd.

 

But times there are when I need voice-

But often when I have a thought

I have no chance to speak my part,

Be heard, e'en slight responses got.

 

But maybe, if my thoughts I write

Then others will of them take note:

I may be hid, still out of sight,

But now with voice to sway a vote.

 

So now I write- Let others see!-

And know that to be heard I seek.

Now, maybe friends and classmates too

Will listen to me when I speak.

Heard

My voice is heard some more these days,

Though maybe not heard ev'ry time.

But I speak little anyways,

And quietly most of the time.

 

A better way I now have found

By which I can express my thought.

It can be rather full and loud-

It's something I enjoy a lot.

 

It has become my second voice-

An instrument I love to play-

An instrument I play by choice-

The organ is the voice I play.
