Simple Things


Today I listened
To the song of a bird
I listened intently
As the whole earth stirred.


I bent my ear
To the whistle of the wind
I found God today
Everywhere I have been.


I saw Him today
In a weather worn face
I met Him today
In every place.


Upon a flower
God had placed a bloom
It made me smile
For yet, more beauty did loom.


Right before my eyes
I saw the work of His hand
The beauty spread out
All across His land.


The whole earth
With His beauty did stir
In His glory and majesty;
Yet, in simple things...as it were.
