"THE LITTLE THINGS"

Have you ever just taken the time to look?
Watch the fish swim in the bubbling brook?
Have you ever stopped to smell the flowers?
Ever just thought of God and His powers?

Have you ever just stopped and thought?
Been thankful you weren't the one who got shot?
Ever wondered why you weren't the one to die?
Ever thought of why you were left behind to cry?

Have you ever wondered why your here?
Ever wondered when it would be clear?
Have you ever thought about your reasons?
Ever thanked God for the seasons?

Have you ever helped a little child?
Cried over how the world is so wild?
Have you ever prayed for someone in need?
Ever felt guilty of everyones greed?

Have you ever thought about the little things?
Ever thought about the joy they bring?
The happy the sad?
The good the bad?

Ever realized you need to slow down?
Maybe try a smile instead of a frown?
That you shouldnt' dwell on your problems?
Realized they can be as beautiful as blossoms?

Have you ever gotten on your knees?
Been thankful you don't have a disease?
Have you ever had a dream?
Ever just soaked in a sunbeam?

Ever thought about love?
Wondered about the One above?
Ever stared at the moon?
Just enjoyed a nice tune?

Just enjoy the the life your living
Try to focus more on giving
Pay more attention to the simple things
And enjoy the blessings that God brings
