Be
Still
and Know...
Have you ever stopped and
listened
To
the quiet sounds around?
To
the whispers of the treetops
To
the laughter of the leaves?
Have you seen them when they
glistened
with the raindrops that abound?
Or
did sorrows bring you teardrops
Taking these from you
like thieves?
Have you stopped and smelled
Which along your
the
lillies
path do grow?
Have you watched
the tiny insects
That with vivid colors fly?
Have you stroked
Have you seen
the foals and fillies?
their playful
show?
Or, in search of other prospects,
Did you pass
Have you Or
the
all
these right by?
tasted wild cherries?
plums along the way?
Have you looked In the
mossy
for hidden secrets
forest floor?
Have you found God's
nature carries
Hearts like yours
away?
or could
By
aloft,
you not see the egrets
for the trifles that
