Let It In

It’s standing there before us
But goes unrecognized
For we don’t use our minds,
We only use our eyes

Invisible and quiet
It remains before us there
But daily chores and ballgame scores
Are all our minds ensnare.

If we would stop and study,
If we would just take pause
And use our minds, not our eyes
We'd embrace the cause

Then still standing there before us
As it’s often been
Is that Golden Opportunity,
Just stop … and let it in.
