~ Take The Time ~
Take the time to hear the sound
Of a flower spring from the ground .

Take the time to hear wind blow
Can you hear the falling snow ?

Did you hear a sound today
Or did you let it slip away?

Ignoring miracles of all life,
The sound of beauty and nature's light.

Capture all these splendid things,
That life and love and nature brings.

Then your heart will truly sing
When you can hear a bird take wing.
