I wrote a poem some years ago which I think fits in here rather niclely.
I SAW A CHILD WATCHING SOME BIRDS TODAY By James M. Becher
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.
If we could just get rid of our grown-up complications and see things once more as children do, our lives would be less busy and hassled, and we would certainly gain a fresh appreciation for life and the world around us. And this should help us to maintain our positive, winning attitude.
