One Bird Watching

When no one listens

To the quiet trees,

When no one notices

The sun in the pool;

When no one feels

The first drop of rain,

Or sees the last star;

Or hails the first morning

Of a giant world

Where the peace begins

and rages end:

One bird sits still

Watching the work of God:

One turning leaf,

Two falling blossoms,

Ten circles upon the pond.

I know of no greater pleasure in life than to sit still and watch God at work.  He has opened my eyes to His wonders, my ears to His voice, my mouth to speak what I see and hear.  Among all women, I too am truly blessed!
