There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you - just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
~Shel Silverstein
Have a peaceful
Sunday, my friend.

And unfortunately, we often listen to the many voices OUTSIDE. Beautiful sentiments my dear Sheri! Have a peaceful day my friend. Anita
Sweet fairy and words.
So beautiful poem!
Well done, Sheri!
The fairy is also lovely!
Kisses!
Sheri, Thank you for that perfect poem. Blessings for you and yours this wonderful Sunday. xoxo,Susie
It's a voice that's difficult to listen to; there are so many others around us that are there to advise, bring down, cheer up, admonest. It is sometimes a great cacophony that can be so confusing we can't hear our own precious little voice !xx
Dear Sheri,
So beautiful poem,
Thank you and have nice week!
Hugs

I love Shel Silverstein; his poems resonate within me. Also, his story books. "The Giving Tree" is my favorite. BTW - that Fairy is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful..............x !
Such sweet words and so beautiful. Hugs, xo
So true, we always know the way to go if we listen to the voice sadly we don't always take the advice given.

LOVELY poem, indeed. True words.
May we all listen to the voice inside..very lovely!
I love Shel Silverstein, Sheri, and I bet any one of my three youngest kids (who are now in their 30s) could quote his books verbatim. xo Diana
Perfect sentiments, for Sunday or any day. We need to reflect on what is really happening in our lives, at a deeper level than the superficial which tends to dominate today's world. Blessings Sheri xx

This is the solid, honest truth and so beautifully presented. I always remember my Mother telling me something very similar to this and that I must always listen carefully and never beat that voice down.
Thank you my dear-
love,

Sunday….

Good morning darling Sheri! Thank you for coming by last night; Blogland is becoming very quiet on the weekends now, and it sure is good to see your comment this morning before I head out for work.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ALREADY? Good for you! I don't have anyone to shop for; my husband is very hard to shop for so we just go out together and he buys what he wants and buys me what I want and that's that! No kids and very few if any friends here make for quiet and uneventful Christmases. We are however, flying out for the first time since we moved away, to California for Christmas (28 years!) My aunt passed away last week and I am unable to make the services this coming week, but I do want and need to see my remaining family members for the holidays.
MUCH LOVE TO YOU DEAR FRIEND! Anita
So sweet Sheri! I know you love fairies, they're my favourite too. Have a blessed week my friend.
Hugs,
Aida
Lovely words and beautiful image!
Such beautiful words! Thank you for sharing and may you have a lovely week. Hugs!
Hummingbird, Fairy and a Poem - doesn't get much better than this indeed.
Wishing you a Happy Week ahead, full of the voice and also the silence so needed - within, mostly - to enjoy and appreciate it.
Love,
Teresa
Sheri,
Beautiful poem and so very true. I've often found that if I listened to my first feeling on something I usually couldn't go wrong. It was always when I second guessed myself or listened to someone else's opinion that I made the wrong choice.
Hope you are having a happy Monday! :-)
Such sweet and beautiful words, it is very true. This is the prettiest picture ever. Wishing you a wonderful week.
Love this poem! I'd like to get your blog again via email. This winter when I was sick I unsubscribed to almost all blogs as they were overwhelming. I don't see anywhere on your blog to subscribe via email. My email is marytimmers@aol.com.
Thanks, Mary
Hi Sheri,
This certainly is a lovely poem. I love poetry and enjoy reading my poem books alone in my living room while listening to my favorite cd's. My granddaughter has written several beautiful poems and I have them all which I also read over and over. Like your fairy. I too wish you peaceful days. Hugs...Lu

Dear Sheri,
Thank you for this beautiful poem. I can see where this is one of your favorites and it certainly will become one of mine, too.

At first, I thought the photo was Nel in that ad that she did when she modeled. I ran across that paper the other day. I loved it. Mona
Indeed, my friend, indeed!

Sheri dear-what a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing. By the way, mailed your Stylemindchic boutique package today and must confess-printer shut down so had to send from the post office (handwritten address-not the usual style) but wanted to get it to you asap.
Enjoy your star lovely friend!
xx, Heather
Beautuful dear Sheri!
Kiss
Aw! This is a sweet post, Sheri! :D
