THOSE STRANGE VOICES <\/p>\n

Some people ask “Do you hear from God?”
\nWell, I never get a name and address,
\nI just know it doesn’t all come from me,
\nSo I just assume it must be God, I guess.<\/p>\n

Now some would say I should be committed,
\nIf those strange voices I really do hear,
\nBut it’s not really such an audible voice,
\nThat speaks loudly within my own ear.<\/p>\n

It is more like something deep within,
\nUsually soft, distant but so very clear,
\nWhoever it is, they seem close to me,
\nAnd I know I really have nothing to fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
