Big sound, little sound,
where in the world is God’s voice found?
Can you hear God crashing in the waves?
Can you hear Him echo in the caves?
Do you hear Him when a bird chirps?
Or when your sister slurps?
Can you hear Him on top of a mountain?
Or even at the drinking fountain?
Do you hear God’s voice when you’re feeling sad?
Or perhaps when you’re a little mad?
God speaks through stars that shoot through the sky.
God speaks in whispers as soft as a sigh.
Why is God whispering so you barely hear?
It’s really quite simple: you have to get near!
Sort of like Grandma, who gives you a hug
or tucks you in bed, nice and snug.
God whispers down deep to the depths of your heart,
“I’ve been with you from the very start.”

For National Poetry Month in April, we are sharing poetry collections and books about poetry by authors who have their own stories to tell. These poets delve into history, reimagine the present, examine poetry itself—from traditional poems many know and love to poems and voices that are new and original.
