The little child whispered
"GOD, Speak to me"
And a meadowlark sang
But the child did not hear

So the child yelled
"GOD, Speak to me"
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen

The child looked around and said
"GOD, Let me see you"
And a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice

And the child shouted
"GOD, Show me a miracle"
And a life was born
But the child did not know

So the child cried out in despair
"Touch me GOD"
And let me know you are here

Whereupon GOD reached down,
Touched the child
But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly

Often times the things we seek
Are right underneath our noses
Don't miss out on your blessings
Because it isn't packaged the way that you expect
God's Warrior

Brighten Your Corner

We cannot all be famous
Or be listed in "Who's Who"
But every person, great or small
Has important work to do

For seldom do we realize
The importance of small deeds
Or to what degree of greatness
Unnoticed kindness leads

For it's not the big celebrity
In a world of fame and praise
But it's doing unpretentiously
In an undistinguished way

The work that God assigned to us
Unimportant as it seems
That makes our task outstanding
And brings reality to dreams

So do not sit and idly wish
For wider, new dimensions
Where you can put into practice
Your many good intentions

But at the spot God placed you
Begin at once to do
Little things to brighten up
The lives surrounding you

If everybody brightened up
The spot where their standing
By being more considerate
And a little less demanding

This dark old world would very soon
Eclipse the evening star
If everybody brightened up
The corner where they are
