Be Still and Know...

by Erik Mundall

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 your teardrops

Taking these from you like thieves?

Have you stopped and smelled the lillies

Which along your path do grow?

Have you watched the tiny insects

That with vivid colors fly?

Have you stroked the foals and fillies?

Have you see their playful show?

Or, in search of other prospects,

Did you pass all these right be?

Have you tasted wild cherries?

Or the plums along the way?

Have you looked for hidden secrets

In the mossy forest floor?

Have you found God's nature carries

Hearts like yours aloft, away?

or could you not see the egrets for the trifles that you bore?
