I Heard

I heard my mom say it best, if you have nothing good to say be quiet.

I perceived she meant don’t create missions that hurt others, be silent.

Mom said to ignore that girl that said such mean things to me.

Discern her feelings instead, empathize, have sympathy.

Did you hear your mom say, “Sharing is caring?”, mine said this.

Learn what people need and provide, with the angels be amidst.

What if mom caught wind of the news today, would she discern a different strategy?

She’s gone to the heavens, but I’m told she can hear it; travesty.

I heard, I listened, I acted under your command; my dearest.

Praying you can spiritually advise me, how now to proceed; for the best.
