“The Voice” was written by Shel Silverstein. Not only did he write poetry, he was also a talented musician, songwriter and playwright. To read more about Silverstein and see more examples of his work, you can check him out- here.

I chose this poem for my quote this week in honor of Kris’s birthday. This poem has always reminded me of my middle child. I used to read poems from “Falling Up” and “Where the Sidewalk Ends” to my children when they were younger.

I like the message. Not only for Kris, but for everyone. It’s important to listen to that voice inside of you.
