There are times when we need to be silent, to just listen, and times when we need to speak out.

In this hectic world of ours, the times to be silent seem to be fewer and fewer.

This is a collection of poems that hopefully remind us that silence is indeed a virtue.

Silence can remind us of the truly important things in life.

Yet, there are times when silence can be hurtful if not deadly, times when our voice must be heard.

This is one of those times.
