My daughter, I ask you
When you go about your day,
Moving here to there
Upon your pathway,
Remember to take time
To hear wind in the trees,
To feel the pure delight
Of a soft springtime breeze;
To smell the fragrant flowers
That grow in the fields,
To enjoy the fruit
That My provision yields;
To marvel at the birds
As they soar in flight;
To gaze upon the stars
As they sparkle at night;
To smile at the butterflies
As they dance to and fro,
To rejoice in the roses
As they blossom and grow;
To play with your children
In their carefree games,
To delight in the music
Of calling their names;
To be still in My presence,
To know I am here,
To celebrate the truth
That I am always near;
Please, My daughter,
I ask of you these things,
That you may experience fully
All My grace brings.
So remember to take time
To hear wind in the trees,
To feel the warmth of My love
Bringing you to your knees;
Yes, my daughter, I ask you
When you go about your day,
Savor every sweet step
Of your purposeful pathway.

Ecclesiastes 5:18
Behold, what I have seen to be good
and fitting is to eat and drink
and find enjoyment in all the toil
with which one toils under the sun
the few days of his life that
God has given him, for this is his lot.
