Listen Slowly

You only heard Him when he whispered to you, Didn't you feel His voice as He held up the tree Yes that cool wind that rubbed and soothed you Listen slowly dear, there He'll always be Who you think taught the birds too sing He's the one, they follow His direction And when nature plays her many instruments Who you think gave her instruction The bassy beats of the raindrops, or the pitter patter on the crops Listen slowly He's near By the river or the stream, a pond, lake or spring All the creatures that live to swim Him alone creator of every being Listen slowly, He'll new joy bring The next you allow your mind to listen, to the silence or to nature song There is a message it brings along Listen slowly dear, dear slowly listen Copyright May2007 J.R.
