QUIET

Kate Holland Patton

"Be still, and know."
I will be still and listen,
Cease talk, cease to insist
On what is mere opinion;
For proof, far more than words,
Gives man dominion.

"Be still, and know."
I will be still and trust,
Cease doubting, cease to worry
On what the future holds;
Today is mine for proving
How good unfolds.

"Be still, and know."
By listening comes knowing,
And so thrives understanding.
No more unrest and riot;
The voice of God is heard
When man is quiet.
