I have this little whisper

That lives inside my head

I hear it when I’m walking

Or when I’m tucked up tight in bed.

Sometimes it’s hardly audible

Sometimes it’s really loud

Sometimes it brings me to my knees,

Sometimes it makes me proud.

I have this little whisper

And it boosts me up at night

It gives me energy to stand

It puts sparkle in my fight

Sometimes it feels organic

Sometimes it’s really raw

Sometimes it’s dry and brittle

More like fragile little straw

I have this little whisper

And it promises to stay

And I believe it,

Yes, I believe that it will never go away.

I have this little whisper

It brings meaning to my art

It keeps me connected to my love

Even when we are apart.

I have this little whisper

And it might seem a little lame

But that whisper’s name is hope

And it keeps me in the game.
