Summer Dreams

Did you ever watch a small boy
playing by a stream
and wonder what would be
his hopes and dreams?

Did you ever put a sea shell to your ear
and wonder what distant ocean
you would hear?

Did you ever see a bird flying high
up in the sky
and wondered how he navigates with
such a very small eye?

Did you ever see a rainbow's beauty
so radiantly clear
and feel that God was somewhere,
oh so near?

Have you ever watched a butterfly
being born
and marveled at the fact that his
wings weren't torn?

If you've ever done any of these
wonderous things,
then you've been a part of God's
nature and summer's dreams.
