Surrounds us every day
But seldom do we enjoy it
As we hurry on our way
Puffy white clouds
In a blue summer sky
A tiny little ant
That's stronger than you or I
A herd of grazing cows
In a field of emerald green
There is so much beauty
Just waiting to be seen
The laughter of a child
The singing of a bird
There is so much joy
Just waiting to be heard
The feel of a breeze
On a hot summer's day
The smell from a field
Of freshly mown hay
The taste of a peach
Picked ripe from the tree
All these things are out there
And all of them are free
The Lord in all his glory
Provides so much good
For us to enjoy if only we would
--- Dolly Shubert, June 1999
