Don'T Be Angry
don't be angry
for i don't mean to be unkind,
and i don't mean to be rude;
but,there are times when i must walk alone,
sometimes down a forest path,
and,sometimes along some rocky trail;
and,it's not through laziness,
that i sit here silently gazing,
upon some gurgling brook;
or that i lay here upon my back,
watching some puffy clouds drifting by;
and please,don't rebuke me,
for the flowers that i've picked;
for i go to the woods to be alone with my God,
so that i might hear his voice,
in quiet contemplation;
for every cloud that floats by,
writes another letter in his book;
and every bird that sings,
but sings of that mystery,
that is God's love.
