What If

What If...

What if the raindrops 
were God’s disappointment?

What if the sun
was His approval?

What if walking barefoot on pebbles
meant to be quiet?

What if hearing loud noises
meant to speak softly?

What if walking on dewdrops in sandals
meant to enjoy yourself?

What if skipping like a child
meant to have fun?

What if all this meant to pay attention?
Your life might be on the run....
