Posted - May 29 2007 : 3:03:36 PM While at the cabin I was thinking on different things and just enjoying the smells and sounds of the afternoon. So as I was soaking it all in I wrote this poem. I thought I would share it with you. It hasn't a title yet. I hope you enjoy it.
The inventions we’ve created in comparison are pale To things that God has given us to numerous to tell Please let me show you, if you will but listen Turn off, turn down and unplug our witty inventions
I unplugged the radio with the blaring tune And listened to the songbirds sing something new It was a song so sweet and they were all on key It was a gentle soothing song that God wrote just for me
I turned off the T.V. with the violence and shame And instead watched my children busily at play They were very entertaining and it made my heart glad To know God has blessed me with all that I have
I turned off the air and sat in the shade of the trees And enjoyed the coolness of the feather soft breeze I sat there so still and said a short but silent prayer Simply thanking God for His breath of fresh air
Finally I unplugged the phone that rudely interrupts And carries false and vicious tales entirely too much Gently in my heart spoke that still small voice I’d have never heard Him had I not turned off the noise
~~Blessings, Mikki Jo
