They had a little longer walk today
to stop in wonder at the beauty along our way
to see the flowers in brighter hues
Slowing to see the whites, the blues
A different, more reverent point of view
to see the creation a little more as You do
Walking, lingering to see the plants
and maybe a few of your ants.
