And a meadowlark sang

[Snowrose]

Hello dear friends,

This was sent to me by a friend and I just wanted to share it with you.


And a meadowlark sang by Ravindra Kumar Karnani
(This poem was originally written in the Hindi language.)

The child whispered "God, if you're there, talk to me"
And a meadowlark sang
But the child did not hear.

So the child yelled "God, are you there?"
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said "God, I want to see you."
And the flowers grew . . .
But the child only noticed their beauty.

And the child shouted "God I want to see a miracle"
As she played in the lush fields and ate of the sweet fruits,
taking in the wonders of nature.

Somehow knowing there was an in-born need,
the child cried out in despair
"Touch me God. I want to know you are here!"

Whereupon God reached down and touched the child,
but the child brushed the butterfly away and
ran off in search of God.


God's children miss out on so many blessings because we have a preconceived idea of what His 'miracles' should look like. There are miracles all around us . . . begin to notice what God is doing in your life. Don't allow Satan to steal your joy.

So much is missed because we simply rush about in our busy day and don't see that God is with us, even in the very small things. Take the time to see God all around you.


God bless,
Snowrose

Amen sister. It is all about seeing God in the everyday things all around us. Who else could create such beauty?

Thanks for sharing this lovely poem, Snowrose, I have never read it before. God is all around us and He provides things to satisfy all the senses.

visual----nature, majestic landscapes, colours, art,- the list is endless
sound---nature, music, laughter, - the list is endless
touch---of a person, nature, different textiles and textures - the list is endless
taste---sweetest fruit to the spiciest spice- the list is endless
smell---sweetest rose to fresh mown grass-the list is endless

mind/learning---creative poetry to quantum physics---the list is endless

There is no reason on this earth to how we can miss God in all this vast array of creation,... or ever get bored. Like you said Snowrose we have to take time-to literally stop and smell the roses, or maybe coffee.........coffee....mmm now thats good because it incorporates several senses....think I need to get some:cup:
