Whisper, Speak, Sing and Shout


In 1977, Billy Joel wrote a tremendous song called “Just the Way you Are.”  Each time I hear the song, I think about the universal desires we all share.  What we love about another human being is the stuff that fills up our spirits.  Honest conversation, loyalty, trust and faithfulness outweigh appearance, power and money every time.

Whisper, Speak, Sing and Shout

Whisper me your dreams, 
desires,
hopes,
fears,

And I will tell you mine.

Speak to me of love,
embrace,
touch,
believe,

And I will speak of love,

Sing to me of joy,
music,
dancing,
life,

And I will sing of joy,

Shout to me of truth
faithful,
loyal,
true,

And I will shout the same,

whisper, speak, sing and shout,
be heard,
be known,
be bold,
and I will be the same.
