Put Away Your Screen Today
Things that make me happy
bring a smile or tears of joy
they have no monetary value
sweet gifts for every girl and boy
So take off all those blinkers
Let the light shine in
Put away your screen today
And you’ll see what I mean
To see a spider spin a web
a bee sip nectar for his queen
a fledging taking his first flight
mother moon on the clearest night
To hear a blackbird sing his song
for he will sing it all day long
the sea her tides they come and go
relax and watch her ebb and flow
The morning sky the sun arising
with hues that take your breath away
And as she sets ~ a picture painted
Each night each day a different way
The joy I get to see the moon
her crescent exquisite
her fullness divine
she fills up my heart
she clears out my mind
What joy to see a sky full of stars
With Jupiter ~ Venus ~ Saturn and Mars
So open your eyes
as you gaze to the sky
You may even see
ISS passing by
Open your mind ~ let your soul soar
In this wonderful world there is oh so much more…
