Have you ever walked with a little child,
And really seen the things that he sees?
His utter fascination with flowers...
And butterflies..and trees.

Have you ever really listened
When he stopped to chat with a dog?
Or were you too busy to listen..
Your mind all in a fog?

Have you ever watched a little one
Investigate a toy...
And looked into his inquisitive mind...
At that moment, filled with joy?

Oh yes, we grownups are too busy
To really hear and really see.
Our minds are filled with thoughts of self
And things that someday may be.

Then it seems we hardly turn around
And that child is little no more...
And we've missed so much that he's seen and heard...
So much..God for us..had in store

Have you ever spent a day with God...
And known that He was near?
Have you ever sat and just had a chat...
And really listened enough to hear?

The day will start out bright and sunny
And seem to stay that way all day...
If we try to spend the day with Him
And really listen to what He has to say.

You'll know a calm and peace of mind...
And an easing of all tension.
You'll begin to see and understand
Problems that friends have mentioned.

You'll begin to think of others...
And forget about youself..and
The problems you've been harboring,
You can put back on the shelf.

It's nice to spend the day with God...
And have your thoughts made clear...
And it's nice to think about..and help
Friends you hold most dear!
