Rest Awhile

Watch the wind as its blowing through the meadow 
See the ripples of the dried wheat marking time 
Hear the birds as they’re chirping in the tree tops 
And hear the tumbling of the water making rhyme 
Rest awhile by the brook and be happy 
Let the toils of the day go undone 
Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling 
And remember that you’re still number one 
Feel the breeze of the wind over lapping 
Touch the softness of the grass where you lay 
Sing a song in your heart and be happy 
That you see and feel this goodness today 
Rest awhile by the brook and be happy 
Let the toils of the day go undone 
Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling 
And remember that you’re her number one 
Breathe the freshness of this country air into you 
Let it register in your mind for a while and see 
If tomorrow never comes then you won’t regret it 
For you’ve lived life the way it ought to be 
Rest awhile by the brook and be happy 
Let the toils of the day go undone 
Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling 
And remember that you’re her number one

Will Karry February 24, 2014 at 10:04 AM Thanks a million Jonathan. Yes, we need to slow down a lot in this fast paced world we live in and count our many blessing and just do nothing by rest and relax for a spell. Thnx for the comment.
