Hi Mr. Cliff. Thank you for linking to my Scenic Sunday. This is a beautiful quote by Emily Dickinson. Truly words to live by.
Hi Cliff, thanks for your comment. This Emily Dickinson poem really gets to me. I pray that I won't live in vain and that I can be a beacon of hope for someone who needs it.

Hi Clif,
Thanks for stopping by this morning and listening to the song video I had posted. You had made a comment that it was a bit hard to understand the lyrics. Because they are so beautiful, I looked them up for you and thought I would share them. I hope you enjoy them!
Listen To Our Hearts
By Geoff Moore and The Distance
How do you explain, how do you describe
A love that goes from east to west
And runs as deep as it is wide
You know all our hopes, You know all our fears
Words cannot express the love we feel
But we long for you to hear
Chorus
So listen to our hearts, and hear our spirits sing
A song of praise that flows
From those you have redeemed
We will use the words we know
To tell you what an awesome God You are
Words are not enough to tell You of our love
So listen to our hearts
If words could fall like rain
From these lips of mine
And if I had a thousand years
I would still run out of time
So if you listen to my heart
Every beat would say
Thank you for the life, thank you for the truth
Thank you for the way
Chorus
So listen to our hearts, and hear our spirits sing
A song of praise that flows
From those you have redeemed
We will use the words we know
To tell you what an awesome God You are
Words are not enough to tell You of our love
So listen to our hearts
Oh and by the way -I LOVE Emily Dickinson!! Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem today.
Blessings to you,
Kymber
Hi Clif,
One of my favorite poets...and to think she didn't want any of her poems published as she didn't think they were good enough! Thanks!
