I SAW A CHILD WATCHING SOME BIRDS TODAY

              By James M. Becher from Principles Of The Kingdom

I saw a child watching some birds today.

As they glided by

In their bright array,

Colors caught his eye

Gazed he, as they stopped to play

A while there, then flew fast away.

I saw a child watching some birds today.

And I strolled on by

With a “What Care I” attitude;

Thinking my own thoughts,

Pampering my own little mood.

Then, I stopped--and thought: “How pretty be they!”

Yet, I’d oft’ passed such scenes without one word to say;

Failing to notice--entangled in thought--

All nature’s wonders; things God hath wrought;

The beautiful things which, around us each day,

Live their own lives in their own little way.

I saw a child watching some birds today.
