The Simplest of Things

Sometimes we overlook the simplest of things God laid before our eyes Like the beauty we see in all His birds Or the majesty of the skies. It’s the small things that surround us That we never seem to see Or the things that are big that we overlook Like the tallness of a tree. There’s a peaceful sound that calms our hearts And it comes with falling rain Then it speeds up as it falls real hard As to almost cause us pain. There’s something special we have when we’re young And it’s there when we get real old We have the ability to feel when it’s hot Or to feel when it gets too cold. These are things we never think about But, sometimes I think we should If we’ll take the time to stop what we’re doing I know we surely would. There’s a comfort we get when we realize God is around us every day It’s an awesome feeling to know our Lord Is never far away.
