A Forest Walk

A FOREST WALK Come walk with me, I'll show you how to pass some pleasant time away we'll watch what nature will allow our eager eyes to see this day as we go through the forest now we'll see the innocents at play; and see some things time has forgot but I will bet that you will not. Look through the branches, you may see a bushy tail go flashing by it's just a squirrel that's fast and free, as jumping limb to limb, up high, it never wants to ever be part of our world, I wonder why? Do you suppose that squirrel knows some things we don't? Well, I suppose. If we be very, very still, we'll hear the silence all around, and maybe then a distant shrill of courting birds that made the sound, they sing just as sometimes man will when courting someone he has found. Do you think birds can fall in love and court someone they're dreaming of? Have you been noticing the light how it grows dimmer as we go? The leaves are darker green to sight and flowers make a wond'rous show; now look beneath this rock, we might see signs of life few ever know.. Don't you suppose God knows them all just as He sees each sparrows fall?
