Not Listening

He spoke to her, but she slept on,

She didn’t want to hear.
Yet still he spoke the urgent words
Into her sleeping ear.
 
There was such wisdom in the words,
That she chose to ignore.
Had she but listened to his thoughts,
Life could offer much more.
 
But still she turns her head away
Each time he tries to speak,
Not understanding he offers
The answers we all seek.
 
Deuteronomy 5:27
Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says. Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”
