The wonder and responsibility of speech

All idols are silent
– God speaks
in words that are clear:
He seeks
to teach and inform
– eye and ear
created to read and to hear.

We’re made so we language
can use
to help, not malign,
or confuse;
communicate, listen
and share
and tell of our God’s loving care.

Through various languages
we
receive revelation
to see
the ‘Why’ of the universe,
and
can chat so our friends understand!
