~ Did You
Ever Ponder ~
Did you ever hear a songbird sing
The saddest notes on high,
Wishing for the sun to shine
And rain be bid goodbye...
Did you ever see a butterfly
Sitting broody in a mood,
Upset with how his life is short
So the day becomes unglued...
Did you ever see a busy ant
So in tune with what he does,
Walking endless single files
And never making any fuss....

Did you ever ponder honey bees
A buzz there as they fly,
Gathering from each blossom sweet
And never asking why....
Did you ever watch a slimy snail
And wonder how he copes,
Slithering along so very slow
That great big shell to tote....
Did you ever watch a lizard run
Those dull grey scales he wears,
And think of how he has to hide
And never gets to share...

Did you ever dig beneath the earth
To observe a wiggly worm,
Give thanks for how he works for us
In the dark so gladly squirms....
Did you ever catch a lady bug
And hold her in your hand,
Then think of how the color, spots
Is more of God to understand....
Yes, listening long to all He made
We ponder as we view,
Sitting hushed we learn the more
The love of God anew...

Wonder...
Is The Beginning Of Wisdom
~Greek proverb~
"There is in just no
way to find contentment's call
except in the unconditional
acceptance of God.....
in all that He unfolds."
