If we could take a moment

Look outside your home and see what you can see
Before you start your bustle or become busy like the bee
Hear what's out there singing in the breezes and the trees:
The flowers and the plantlets and the tiniest no one sees

For all around us is a beauty and a loveliness so pure
If we could take a moment, we would see all this for sure;
But, often times, we're running and we're speeding through our day
We miss all the lovely  messages that the universe has to say..

Sitting inside the traffic the noises are surely loud
Bumper to bumper traffic can be more invasive than a crowd.
Yet even within this craziness, we can look up high to see
A softness in the Heavens that is displayed for you and me

For all around us is a beauty and a loveliness so pure
If we could take a moment we would see all this for sure
But often times we're running and we're speeding through our day
We miss all  the lovely  messages that the universe has to say..

While all of our mind is busy with the burdens of our day
And work is piled upon us we without a second to look away...
If we can find that moment that breath of air serene
We might hear a whispering rumble of the One who goes Unseen

For all around us is a beauty and a loveliness so pure
If we could take a moment we would see all this for sure
But often times we're running and we're speeding through our day
We miss all the lovely  messages that the universe has to say..

What schedule can be so regimented so piled up and so set
That we cannot pause to ponder and acknowledge we're truly blessed
For the minutes of every hour and the seconds of every day
Are ambassadors from the Heavens and they have so much to say

For all around us is a beauty and a loveliness so pure
If we could take a moment we would see all this for sure
But often times we're running and we're speeding through our day
We miss all of the lovely  messages that the universe has to say..
